SUMMARY:Refresh Your Ministry Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Gather with Baptist State Convention of Michigan pastors and wives for an overnight retreat with a purpose! \n\nRelaxing accommodation\nRefreshing fellowship\nResourceful speaker\n\nServing in the local church is one of the greatest privileges—and one of the greatest pressures—of the Christian life.

This Refresh Retreat is designed to offer a sacred pause: a time to breathe deeply\, lean into God’s grace\, and rediscover joy in life and ministry. \nThrough encouraging teaching\, meaningful conversations\, and intentional time together\, couples will be refreshed spiritually\, strengthened relationally\, and renewed for the work God has called them to. Sessions will focus on cultivating healthy rhythms and remaining rooted in God’s Word amid the demands of ministry. Pastors and wives will leave encouraged\, equipped\, and reminded that they are not alone—God is faithful\, and their BSCM family stands with them. \nWe’re excited to welcome Brian Croft as our Keynote Speaker!
