2025 Clergy Retreats: Living Out C.A.R.E.S.

July 25, 2025 in Conference News

All clergy and MIDs with standing in the Southwest Conference are invited to the 2025 clergy retreats! Attend either or both.

Ministry can’t thrive without rest. Not just time off, but intentional time to reconnect with God, with one another, and with the quiet places within us that we often overlook. When we neglect that space, we risk running empty while trying to lead others to fullness. Rest isn’t indulgent—it’s part of how we honor the sacred calling we’ve received. How do we take C.A.R.E.S. of our mind, body, and soul, tending to our well-being in ways that reflect our Covenant, Accountability, Resilience, Education, and Spiritual life?

We invite you to retreat for a time not for fixing, producing, or checking things off a list—but for BEING. For laughter, prayer, quiet, renewal, and maybe even sleeping in without guilt.

Ask yourself: What might it look like to truly rest in the presence of God, among colleagues who get it?

Register today.
