2025 Leadership Retreat


Leadership Retreat: Leaning on the Everlasting Arms

How can we experience the comfort of leaning on the everlasting arms? Is this even possible? Sometimes our heart is so filled with hesitations . . . what if?

This year we will be focused on who God is and how we can enter into his invitation to lean on him, not as a forced exercise but as a natural outflow of a love relationship with the most powerful and wonderful being in the universe. Our Abba!

Join us as we listen, learn, reflect, share and ponder anew his goodness, his great love for us. Come experience his delight in us until we know we are safe and secure from all alarms!

Overview

You will be hearing from Betsy Stalcup, Ph.D., David Takle, Rev. Brian Smith and Rev. Antony Njoroge as they each share a piece of God’s heart towards us.

This year we are dreaming again of having a live component of the experience for each and every one of you to invite two friends into you home, or if you can join a friend or two in their place. You can register below as an individual attendee, or as a group host. The group option is for three or more people gathered together in a home to engage with the retreat on Zoom, as well as sharing with each other live right in the living room. We encourage our community to invite others to be a part of this retreat— to meet together to enjoy one another!

Everyone who registers will be provided a digital workbook beforehand. You also have the option to purchase a hard copy of the workbook during the checkout process, which will be delivered in early June.

Registration is open until June 16th, but you will get the best discount if you catch the early bird rate. Learn more about the schedule and pricing below.
