When: October 10th - 12th, 2025
Where: The Retreat at Silver Springs
Theme: Transformation
Keynote Speakers: Rev. Cassie Sexton - Riggs and Rev. Michael Riggs
Retreat Theme: Transformation
Over one powerful weekend, we’ll gather around campfires, in circles, and in worship to explore what it means to be a church alive with the Spirit’s fire. Our journey will move from flickers of change on Friday night to the big picture story of God’s transforming work, and into the heart of what it means to live abundantly, authentically, and with purpose.
Friday Night: Flickers of Change — Around the fire, we’ll ask: Why does the church exist? Where is God stirring in us holy discontent? Through prayer, scripture, and stories, we’ll watch sparks of transformation rise.
- Saturday Morning: The View from 30,000 Feet — Together, we’ll step into God’s story and discover how the Gospel reorients our lives toward justice, love, and hope.
- Saturday Afternoon: Men and Women gather separately—Men for Let’s Get Real, Women for Living the Abundant Life—to explore what God’s abundance means in our everyday walk.
- Saturday Evening: Lightning in a Bottle — Transformation cannot be manufactured, but we can open ourselves to the Spirit’s power. What does it mean to catch God’s fire and let it move through us?
- Sunday Morning: a word of promise and invitation, sending us out as people embodying Christ’s life for the sake of the world to come.
Transformation isn’t a product—it’s a Spirit-led process.
Together, let’s kindle holy sparks into a fire of renewal for our lives, our churches, and our communities.
