Focus Retreats

One way we seek to fulfill our mission of training leaders is by providing opportunities for connection and instruction throughout the year. Focus Retreats are designed for leaders to enjoy times of fellowship, engage in meaningful discussions on ministry-related topics, pray for one another, and collaborate on new initiatives. The goal is for participants to leave feeling refreshed, encouraged, and inspired to continue in Great Commission work.

Focus Retreats are held in five regions across the country: Central, East, Southwest, South, and Northwest. These gatherings typically follow a three-day format, with accommodations and meals included, and are focused on a central theme.

Ministry faithfulness and effectiveness are tied to our spiritual health and wholeness. Of course, God uses broken vessels, weaklings, and imperfect people. That’s us, and His grace is sufficient. But more often a spiritual leader gives from the overflow of his vibrant life in Christ. Healthy leaders are integrated, caring for their bodies, emotions, relationships, ethics, and minds. Each session of these retreats will be full, holistic, and focused on our long-term viability in ministry.
