Our annual HCI Leadership Retreat is already shaping up to be one you won’t want to miss! We are “Becoming Like Him”.
This year we are working to offer a hybrid retreat experience. We hope many of you are able to meet in homes and experience the joy of being together in the same space, while also enjoying the speakers, worship, and exercises with our online friends. Don’t worry, if you can’t meet in person, we are offering the retreat experience online too. We’ve lined up gifted speakers who will encourage us all as we are “Becoming Like Him”.
You are invited to join us as we gather together and adore the one whose birth we celebrate—Jesus. Come hear about what God has been doing in HCI this past year and where he is leading us. Hear guest speaker and community member, Jay Jakub share a Christmas message. Worship with special music, including a song sung by international opera singer, Susan Wheeler Martosko. Experience the joy of being with a community glad to be with you. Let’s adore him together.
How have the upheavals of the last 17 months impacted you?
What if you could live in joyful confidence, no matter what?
You can learn to live in Joyful Confidence by going deeper with God, by experiencing his deep love and care, his tender heart towards you. If we fully saw the reality of his power and presence with us, we would experience a level of safety, joy, and confidence that we can barely imagine. We would also know who we are and what amazing acts we are called to do in partnership with God. We call this Living in Joyful Confidence.
In this seminar, you will learn how to increase your awareness of God's presence so that you can enjoy being with Him and can bring to him any barriers to trusting him with your whole heart. We will learn about the method, practice connecting to him, and interacting with him.

Life is full of painful losses that must be grieved, but many of us have found that our culture does not welcome grief nor supply the support we need to face the pain and let it go.

econciliation is not a destination but a resting place on our journey with Jesus. Reconciliation with God is the pathway to living into the new relationship that we have with Him through Jesus Christ, John 15:15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. (ESV) And as we live into this truth, and continue on our journey with Jesus, we then become reconcilers.
HeartSync Ministry focuses on the primary mission statement of Christ to heal the brokenhearted, whereby Christ gives us singleness of heart and action so we are then able to love the Lord our God with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our mind.
Come in from the cold! David Tackle, author of the Forming Life Model class, will be joining us to share a devotional message crafted especially for us, and Betsy Stalcup, Executive Director of HCI, will help us experience Immanuel and share about our dreams for HCI in the coming year.
Healthy teams begin with healthy leaders, and at the heart of this dynamic is emotional maturity—the quality the greatest leaders possess.
At this conference we will be demonstrating how to engage with God for change, interact with him over what troubles us, and be freed from the places where we are stuck. This year we will be focusing on getting free of the “tar pit” of codependency so we can fearlessly embrace all God has for us. We will be identifying types of codependency—the obvious and subtle forms—and how to overcome co-dependent relationships and set healthy boundaries. This is a workshop for everyone (aged 14 and up) including codependents and the people who love them.
Join us as Margie Harper, wife of former CoA rector The Rev. David Harper, as she ministers in the power of the Holy Spirit through soaking prayer.
