Retreats
‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
Matthew 22:37-39
The goal of spiritual formation ministry is that we become people who love. People who love God and others and themselves generously, compassionately, sacrificially, and wholeheartedly. People who love like Jesus.
To love well, we need to be people who pay attention to what God is doing and wants to be doing, in us and around us. That’s why retreats are so important.
Retreats help us to create space in our lives away from the noise and the busyness where we can stop, breathe, and rest. They provide space for us to listen for God, to understand our own thoughts, and for God to breathe new life into us.
Upcoming retreat in 2026
Forgiven Retreat
📅 Dates: February 6-8, 2026
📍 Location: Trinity Center - Pine Knoll Shores
What does it mean to receive God’s forgiveness and to live as one who is forgiven?
Jesus said, “It is finished.” Forgiveness is not something we create or choose for ourselves; it is a reality we enter. It is done.
But we struggle to receive such a gift. We try to earn our own way and judge ourselves as woefully missing the mark.
Join us for our first Forgiven retreat February 6-8, 2026, at the Trinity Center in Pine Knoll Shores. Set aside this time to quiet your mind and open your spirit to God’s presence. Reflect on God’s deep love for you and discover the freedom and peace of being forgiven.
Led by Barrett Owen and Jayne Davis.
Cost: $325 – Single; $285 – Double. Includes two nights lodging, all meals from Friday dinner through Sunday breakfast, transportation from the Activity Center by church van.
Space is limited. Register by January 10, 2026.
