Ministers’ retreat

September 16-28, 2024 | Lake DeGray Lodge

Registration Deadline: August 16

This yearly retreat offers pastors a time to be ministered to. It’s a time for pastors to get away for worship, encouragement, fellowship, and recreation.

This year’s speaker will be William Smith, pastor and former executive secretary/treasurer of the Georgia Free Will Baptist state association.

In addition to worship services, available activities during free time include hiking, fishing, biking, shooting your guns, hanging out with old friends, making new friends, golfing, and just relaxing.

 

Minister's Wives’ Retreat

Each February, this two-day event offers the wives of ministers an opportunity to be refreshed through a variety of activities: fellowship, skits, crafts, music, recreation, and worship.
