Retreat
Everlasting Joy Ministers’ Retreat
Three days away for pastors and full-time workers: prayer, rest, ministry teaching, family forum for spouses, and confidential counselling access.
What this is
Three days away for pastors and full-time workers: prayer, rest, ministry teaching, family forum for spouses, and confidential counselling access.
Registration closes 24 hours before the start, or when capacity is reached — 150 ministers. If you need a bursary, a same-gender room-mate, dietary provision, interpretation or accessibility support, say so in the registration form or message the office; these are normal requests here.
How the day goes
- Arrival and welcome — someone meets you at the door (or in the online room) and stays until you are settled.
- Worship and teaching — the word for this gathering, from the assigned ministry director.
- Groups — small tables by stage: children, teens, youth, parents, ministers. This is where the questions get asked.
- Ministry time — prayer, counselling rooms open all day, and a quiet room that is never booked for anything else.
- Next step — an enrolment desk with a single question: what will you do this month? Nobody leaves un-pastored.
Safeguarding on site. Every children’s space is staffed by two screened, trained adults, with a sign-in/sign-out register held by parents. Photo consent is collected at registration.
