Are you passionate about reimagining church and discovering new ways to connect with your community? Are you curious about how your church can engage your neighbors more deeply? This two-day retreat is designed for innovators, dreamers, and doers who sense God’s spirit stirring something fresh in their midst. Together, we’ll explore how everyday passions—like cooking, fitness, caring for animals, or serving neighbors—can become the seeds of new Christian community.

This gathering isn’t about adding more programs, but about unleashing creativity, experimenting with new forms of church, and walking alongside others who want to see lives and neighborhoods transformed. Whether you’re a pastor or lay leader, if you’re ready to try something new, this retreat will equip and inspire you to take the next step.

Join us as we learn, imagine, and set out on a new trail together.
