Encountering God’s Story, through scripture and one another 

A retreat for children, youth, and family workers
 

‘Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.’ Matthew 11:28-30
 
Ministry is a joy, but the reality is that the work we carry can take its toll. You are invited to join children, youth, and family workers from across Baptists Together as we gather to celebrate, seek God, and dwell together in His presence.

The Children, Young People and Families Roundtable will be facilitating the retreat and say, “For many years we've listened to those called to working with young people and a desire by them to connect and retreat with others who share the same ministry. What we have planned we pray is an answer to this request and ways of refreshment, retreat and connection will bless all who attend.”

To secure your place please complete our booking form.  Please note the retreat is restricted to part or full time children, youth, and family workers in churches belonging to Baptists Together.
