Dear Friend,
God is inviting you, his daughter, to be in a vibrant relationship with Him. He calls you by name and knew you before you were born. Receive his love and forgiveness and find strength to face life's trials through the fellowship of a community of women. Come and find acceptance, meet new friends, and begin the process of healing. Discover all that he has CALLED you to be!

Why a Retreat?
A retreat is an opportunity to withdraw from regular, everyday activities and do something relaxing and rejuvenating. Our Women's Retreat is intended to be a specific time spent with a community of women, away from our normal lives and activities for the purpose of connecting with each other and reconnecting with God through worship, teaching, and fellowship.
