Rest & Renew Retreat
for Children’s & Youth Pastors from Fellowship Pacific Churches
A relaxing setting awaits!
Children’s and Youth Pastors/Leaders/Directors… we see you. We know that you tirelessly serve your church and community and because of that, we would like to offer you a few days to pull away for some rest and renewal at a special discounted rate.
We know that ministry is challenging and we also believe that we are most effective when we can serve others from a place of rest. So we invite you to join us at Camp Qwanoes for a few days of quiet reflection. You’ll have an opportunity to meet with others, receive encouragement, share some meals and laughs, sleep-in, and pull away to connect with God in prayer. This is your opportunity to rest, refuel, and recharge and we’d love to see you here.
