Retreat...why, you might ask? Let us count the ways...

connect - rest - connect - play - connect - worship - connect -build - connect - grow - connect - challenge - connect - understand - connect

I think you get the idea!  Jesus designed us to be connected to one another.  Women’s Retreat is an intentional weekend away designed to fill all the quadrants Jesus wants us to grow in: spiritually, socially, intellectually, and physically!  The retreat team’s hearts’ desire is for every woman to experience what it's like to be in a community that loves, supports, and challenges each other through this messy life – our favorite saying is “our girlfriends keep us sane”!
