Have you been longing for time away… a moment to breathe, reset, and reconnect with what truly matters? That time is here.
Join us for Christ in You, a powerful weekend designed just for you—a space to step away from the noise and encounter the presence of God in a fresh, personal way. Gather with women who understand your journey, your burdens, and your desire for something deeper.

Whether you come with friends or on your own, you will be welcomed, seen, and never alone.
Set against the beautiful, rustic backdrop of Camp Chautauqua, your weekend will be filled with meaningful connection, refreshing moments of stillness, delicious meals, and life-giving encouragement.

What Your Friends Have To Say:
I am a CEO and I am the happy, strong, and knowledgeable one for everyone, every day. It’s exhausting. This retreat allowed me to relax and not worry about if everyone is taken care of, that everyone is happy, and the plans are made. I felt the freedom of life and worship.
I felt the breakout sessions were just great! Lisa, Shannon, Joy & Lauren were ALL FANTASTIC in different ways. The varied speakers touched on different Biblical/Spiritual areas and aspects, so I felt Fed, Encouraged and Instructed in multiple areas of my walk with Jesus. Thank You!!
I came by myself and I was never alone!
I believe the highlight of the whole retreat was making connections, being accountable, making commitments, being honest with other believers and praying with them, seeking God‘s face for change in a closer and deeper and more meaningful relationship with Christ, our Lord and savior who died for us.
OH! WAAAAYYY Too Many Moments to Count! I enjoyed being transported back to childhood by sleeping in cabins with sleeping bags – I haven’t done that since 2 yrs old! The grounds were just perfect for us – the Prayer Garden was amazing! I LOVED the Fragrant Song ladies ministering to us with their sweet music, inviting us into His Presence SO Perfectly!
It was all good and I couldn’t even pick a favorite moment because it all ministered to my soul. The worship, the word, the welcoming, the Lord not only came with me there He showed up in multiple ways and through all the women there. It was truly a great time in the Lord from the Welcoming Women in entrance way to the prayer out at the end God was there!

Will God work in my life at this retreat?
That’s a good question, right? All I know is – God is always speaking – through His Word, through conversations with others and through quiet time in His presence. We are creating an atmosphere for God to move. This is His invitation for you to experience hope, strength, courage, and even salvation if you need to meet Jesus for the first time. Will God work in your life? I can’t wait to hear you answer that question and share your testimony! ~Joy
