awe equipping ministries

---

From the earliest centuries of the Church, Christians have set aside the demands of daily life to seek renewal in God's presence. Jesus Himself often withdrew to solitary places to pray, setting a pattern for his followers to follow. In our busy and distracted world, retreats remain essential—sacred times to be refreshed, recentered, and equipped for faithful ministry. Our equipping ministries are offered in retreat formats patterned after Acts 2:42-47, immersing believers in the same rhythms that the early Church embraced: devotion to the apostles' teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread, prayer, praise, and a shared life in the Spirit.  By stepping away from daily distractions into an unhurried one- or two-day retreat setting, participants enter a focused space shaped by the Book of Common Prayer (BCP). These retreats feature multimedia-assisted teaching, Spirit-led praise with the musical instruments of the Psalms, small groups, times of reflection, and the introduction of worship resources—all designed to renew God's people in Worship and equip them for a life of mission.

EQUIPPING  RETREATS

Ancient Christian Worship Retreat
Rooted in Scripture, empowered by the Spirit, and anchored in Sacrament, this retreat explores how the BCP follows Old and New Testament patterns of Worship that transform lives today.

Time with the Shepherd Retreat
A time of renewal for clergy, vestries, ministry leaders, praise teams, and pastoral caregivers. Through worship, teaching, and prayer, retreatants 

reflect on Christ as the Good Shepherd—who knows His sheep, feeds them with Word and Sacrament, guides them in righteousness, protects them from harm, and heals their wounds. In His presence, leaders are equipped to shepherd others with wisdom and compassion.
