“I came away with a sense of freedom from some fears and relationship barriers that had been hindering my joy and intimacy with God and others. A couple of key truths became anchors to keep me grounded in faith when I came home and entered into a chaotic season. The worship continued in my personal life and I believe in the months since the retreat, I've recaptured my delight in Jesus. It breathed life and hope into my ministry since it's coming from a place of belovedness in God.”

2023 Retreat Attendee

“The first time I went, it saved my ministry. I was planning to quit as soon as I returned from the retreat and my experience led me to hear clearly from God about the lies I'd been believing and kept my obedient to His call.”

2022 & 2023 Retreat Attendee

“This retreat has become a highlight of my year. I love being surrounded by other Christian leaders who share similar joys, frustrations, victories, challenges, and experiences. I felt recharged and refilled at this retreat by such things as fellowship, authentic worship, connection, encouraging, powerful messages, and even quiet walks on the beach. I returned home rested, and ready to take next steps in my ministry. What a precious, special time to marinate in the love of Jesus.”

2023 Retreat Attendee

“The retreat blessed me in several ways: the worship and Bible teaching filled me, the round table discussions educated me, and the play time with other women of like mind encouraged me… a wonderful blessing and encouragement!”

2022 & 2023 Retreat Attendee
