Pastors and Ministers Retreat

April 29 - May 3, 2024

Our Mission

And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat (Mark 6:31 ESV). The Church of God by Faith Annual Pastor’s Retreat exist for the purpose of providing an environment for pastors and minsters to rest, fellowship, enjoy recreational time, and be enriched.
