In preparing for a sermon recently I stumbled across a second kind of Biblical rest. Not Shabbat – stopping; but Nuakh - the rest in things we do. I am looking forward to the rest of Nuakh for us all, as we all come together for the Recharge 2024 weekend.

RCHRG Weekend allows me to disconnect from the ordinary routine of life and connect with like-minded individuals seeking something both familiar and unique. This experience fills me with hope in a Creator who accepts me as I am, surrounds me with people willing to explore our shared imperfections, and reminds me of God's transformative love.

As the old hymn says; “Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on me.” We need to be moving in the power of the Spirit more than ever. He’s led us all in similar, but different ways. As we come together to raise our voices in praise, may it spark a fire will continue to burn long after we have gone our separate ways.
We are a community of Christians here to support and encourage you on your spiritual journey. Our retreat offers a peaceful and welcoming environment where you can explore your faith, ask questions, and share your concerns in a safe and understanding space. At the Recharge Retreat, you'll have the opportunity to meet new friends and form genuine relationships with people from different backgrounds. Our retreat provides a break from daily life, allowing you to reflect and gain clarity in the midst of God's beautiful creation.
Let us help you find the clarity you need on your spiritual journey!
Join us for a weekend of meaningful conversations, support, and renewal.
All you need to know before joining us for this event.
Will meals be provided?
There will be 5 meals included with your registration. (Vegetarian options are available)
Can we bring our children?
Yes! If they are 3 and younger, it’s free. Take into account that we will not have programing for children.
Can we bring our pet(s)?
Due to house rules, pets are not allowed.
May I come for a day or portion of a day?
The intent of this retreat is that it is a weekend long event. It is hard to build friendships, and also have time to recharge, if we can't spend a weekend together. BUT, if you are too busy to take a weekend off - this may be exactly the weekend that you need to come away and reprioritize.
How many people can I have in my group?
Group size is limited by the housing Pilgrim Pines in able to provide. Attendance is not assured until you receive notification back.
Is there a theme?
The Gift of Joy - Experiencing Resilient Peace and Hope in Jesus. Distinguished from happiness or pleasure, joy is a transcendent gift we receive in relationship with Jesus. The gift transforms our spirituality, mission, and church. The Gospel is an invitation to joy!
Are you a bookworm?
You encourage you to read Joy and Human Flourishing: Essays on Theology, Culture, and the GoodLife by Miroslav Volf to prepare for our weekend. This is OPTIONAL.
