This retreat invites you to deeply encounter the life-transforming truth of your belovedness in Christ. Through scripture, worship, and reflection, we will explore how understanding God’s love shapes how we see Him, ourselves, and others. Together, we’ll engage in meaningful conversations and connection through small group discussions as we discover our position as cherished guests at His table, our identity as His prized possession, the relentless pursuit of His love, and the sustaining power of His provision. Come and be reminded that you were made by love and for love—a love that invites you to lean fully on Him and live in His abundance.
