Who We Are
RENEWING GRACE TOGETHER, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2016, is passionate about providing rejuvenating retreat experiences for pastoral couples and their families. Tailoring to their individual needs and preferences, we offer respite in ways that renew, refresh and restore.
What We Do
We work hand-in-hand to personalize retreats ranging from individual pastoral retreats, pastoral/couple retreats to pastoral family retreats. Through careful planning, Renewing Grace Together aims to provide a variety of offerings to minister to the well-being of pastors, ministry leaders and their families. These may include delicious meals, serene spa relaxation and rejuvenating activities to cater to the refreshment of pastors and their loved ones.
Why This
Without dedicated periods of rest, reflection, and personal rejuvenation, pastors risk exhaustion, compassion fatigue, and compromised mental well-being, hindering their ability to serve their congregations effectively.
Why we do what we do
"The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed." Proverbs 11:25
