(Limited to 12 Couples)
INTRODUCING
CHURCH BOOM NETWORK’S FIRST SOUL CARE RETREAT FOR PASTORS + SPOUSES
Join us for the Church Boom Network Soul Care Retreat, a restorative in-person retreat for lead pastors and their spouses in the Columbus, Ohio area at Heartland Conference Retreat Center (Marengo, OH).
This retreat is intentionally designed to help you slow down, breathe, and be renewed—spiritually, emotionally, and relationally. Led with care and simplicity, you’ll experience guided soul care sessions, meaningful connection with other pastors in the tribe, and generous margin to rest and reconnect with your spouse.
At this special retreat, you’ll experience:
- Soul Care Sessions: Guided sessions led by Dave McNeely to help you process, replenish, and reset.
- Hosted Care + Warm Community: Konan and Paula Stephens will host and help create a welcoming, unhurried environment.
- Pastor + Spouse Renewal: Space to reconnect with your spouse away from the demands and pace of ministry life.
- Rest, Margin, and Fun: Shared meals, free time, and a group outing (meal + Topgolf) woven into a peaceful retreat setting.
This retreat is your opportunity to step away from the daily demands of ministry, restore your soul, and return home refueled—together.
We can’t wait to be with you.
