Our Retreat Ministry

Our Mission

Retreat, Reflect, Renew is a welcoming Christ-centered ministry with a mission to nurture all who yearn for a deepening spirituality and genuine community.

Our Vision

Retreat, Reflect, Renew is a Christ-centered, retreat ministry dedicated to creating a safe space to grow deeper in faith and to grow in community.  We are here for you whether you attend a church or not, whether you pray a lot or do not know how to pray.  Retreat, Reflect, Renew is hope, faith, and love-centered.  Wherever you are on this growth journey, you are exactly where you need to be, and we welcome you.  

Our Team

Our team of leaders and facilitators come from a variety of places in life. We are married, single, and widowed and have children with special needs. We are Catholic and Protestant, and searching. We work, are retired, and dealing with empty-nesting. We are all over the political spectrum.

Most importantly, we are a group deeply committed to growing in faith and offering a welcoming and loving space for you to grow in yours. We believe that when people with different perspectives and life stories come together in God’s name, something incredibly beautiful and sacred happens.
