Senior Pastor R&R

New Smyrna Beach, FL
May 4 - May 8, 2026

Retreat Description

Leading a church or ministry can be deeply rewarding, but it can also leave you running on empty. At our Pastor & Ministry Leader Retreats, you’ll step away from the demands of ministry and enter a space designed to refuel your soul and refresh your marriage.

Our weeklong getaways create an environment where you don’t have to be “on.” From the moment you arrive, you and your spouse will be cared for—through warm hospitality, beautiful surroundings, and plenty of time to rest. You’ll enjoy unhurried meals, time outdoors, and space to simply breathe again. Along the way, you’ll also find encouragement from those who understand the unique pressures of ministry and the value of investing in your marriage. You’ll return home with a renewed closeness to your spouse and a rhythm of rest you can carry forward for years to come.

Key Takeaways

  • Plenty of margin in the schedule to explore, rest, and simply be present with your spouse, free of distractions. 
  • Space and time to enhance your marriage and hear from the Lord individually and collectively.  
  • The chance to connect and form new friendships with other couples who are on a similar journey in ministry.  
  • A wide variety of optional experiences and activities to tailor the week to your preferences.  

Who Can Attend a Senior Pastor R&R?
  • A senior or lead pastor of a local church congregation for 3+ years

You spend your life pouring into others. We're here to pour into you.

At our Pastor & Ministry Leader Retreats, you’ll experience what it feels like to truly slow down. Over five days, you and your spouse will enjoy unhurried meals, space to rest, and time to simply be together without the weight of responsibility pressing in. Rather than filling your schedule, this week is designed to empty it, so you can leave refreshed, re-centered, and more connected to both your calling and your marriage.
