Where we are formed together
A retreat for those who desire to deepen life with God and one another.
There is a place where growth takes root quietly — where souls are tended, stories intertwine, and God's slow, shaping work unfolds.
The Garden is a weekend retreat, for men and women, designed to help you step away from the noise of everyday life and return to what nourishes and forms you. Together, we will gather for spiritual enrichment and deeper formation, creating space for what God is growing in us and among us. Through shared rhythms of teaching, worship, embodied experiences, conversation, and rest, we'll cultivate relationships that extend well beyond the weekend — relationships that continue to bear good, hope, healing, and wholeness in the world around us.
Come to The Garden: a place to tend to and nourish the roots of your life. Come to soak in the goodness of God and others who also desire to be formed by the self-giving love of the Trinity. Come to pause, receive and grow. Come with your questions, your curiosity, your longings, and your desire to be shaped by the One who created you. Together, as we tend the ground of our souls we trust that something beautiful will take root.
