The Northwest Focus Retreat for pastors and ministry leaders kicked off last night (May 16) at Camp Clear Lake, high in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State. Men from around the Northwest District of Grace Brethren Churches have gathered to learn what it’s like to be Fully Alive.
As with the other Focus Retreats this year, the sessions are led by Dan Allan, pastor of the Grace Brethren Church in Ashland, Ohio, and Tony Webb, executive director of VisionOhio, the Grace Brethren church planting organization in the Buckeye State.
The group is studying Ephesians 3:16-19, looking at how it relates to their core identity in Christ. Using the equation, R+R+R=Transformation, or Revelation + Relationship + Retreat = Transformation.
The weekend also includes time away with God, opportunities for recreation, and occasions to fellowship with other pastors.
