2025 NextGen Leaders Retreat
March 7, 2025 @ 6:00 pm - March 8, 2025 @ 5:00 pm
RE:treat|start|vision|new|imagine|mind
Jesus invites us to find rest for our souls with him. Yet ministry with children, youth, and families can become non-stop as we care for those we serve, leaving little time to care for ourselves. Join us to find rest and be refreshed at the 2025 NextGen Retreat. We’ll join with other leaders from the PacNWC as we make space to lay our burdens down so we might be filled by Jesus.
“Come, all you who are thirsty…” (Isaiah 55:1)
This retreat is for key youth, children, and family ministry leaders from PacNWC churches. This includes paid and unpaid staff, interns, and volunteers who carry the weight of leadership with their ministry. You will find opportunities to grow, play, talk, pray, rest, network, and more.
