Spiritual Retreats
Our lives are full and that urge we have to scroll on our phones, read another article, or turn on the TV tells us that we are looking for something more. Throughout the year we offer half-day spiritual retreats to get away for some space and silence. Come and get away from the full bustle of life and make space to be available to God.

Our discussion times together each week will lead us into a deeper understanding of the Bible’s narrative and how God’s character is revealed throughout Scripture.
