This is a convening of influencers and thinkers in the ministry space. Our hope is that you will come with a willingness to share, network, think, learn and connect. We will eat great food, worship together, talk about bright spots and hear from legacy builders in this space. All that’s expected from you is to bring your curiosity and willingness to connect in a community of like-minded individuals.
Additionally, as we dream for the future, we’d ask that you would provide honest and open feedback about the experience through a follow-up survey and potentially in a short-term focus group setting!
You are responsible for making your own travel arrangements.
For this experience, both lodging and meals are provided at a deeply discounted rate. Our delicious, southern-inspired meals are provided for groups and individuals as part of the total retreat package. Our dining facility does not operate like a restaurant, though we can make accommodations for dietary restrictions. Let us know if you have restrictions or certain needs when you RSVP, so we can prepare to serve you well ahead of time.
We love children, but we believe our retreat environment is best suited for adults. Therefore, no infants or children under the age of 18 are permitted.
We recommend packing comfortable clothing and walking shoes so you can enjoy the surrounding 27,000 acres of wilderness. There are 9,000 acres of hiking and biking trail to enjoy. In cool months, it’s best to dress in layers. With some of the activities we are planning, you will want to bring a pair of closed-toe shoes
