National Worship Leaders Retreat

Worship Leaders come together in one heart and mind from across the nation to engage in community, encouragement and refreshing at our retreat. We pray that you will experience a renewal of strength and passion in your worship calling as we worship and commune together! 

 

We invite you to join us for our National Worship Leaders Retreat. 

Come for inspiration. Come for encounter. Come for friendship.

Nestled in the picturesque mountains, worship leaders from all over the country will come together to experience the wonder of creation in this awe-inspiring location. 

Evenings will include scripture-soaked inspirational talks from our very special guests, along with corporate times of worship & ministry.

Mornings will include a time of worship and a corporate spiritual direction exercise or devotional moment, followed by small group community & prayer time. 

In the afternoon you can attend training workshops, enjoy an outdoor activity alone or with a group, make an appointment with one of our Spiritual Directors, stroll through town or take a nap. The choice is yours!

Every moment of this event is designed to allow space for engagement with the broader worship community as well as space to encounter the Living God. We pray that this retreat is a place for the Lord to impart fresh vision and encouragement into your life, leadership, and ministry.

We invite you to take some time away from the everyday noise to experience rest, peace, and the restoration that comes from time spent in the presence of the Lord with community.

Testimonies

“The Vineyard Worship Leader Retreat is a game-changer for any worship leader!  The settings…create space for the worship leader to be refreshed and refueled by the Holy Sprit. The small group ministry time…is invaluable to the development of any worship leader. I highly recommend the retreat for any worship leader in the Vineyard Movement."  

“We often talk about the Vineyard being a tribe, but how can a person feel like they belong? The retreats…have been hugely influential for me - I've realized, first hand, that there is a Vineyard 'out there', and that there are people just like me trying their best to follow Jesus and love the Church. The three main things that I've found at the retreats are friendship, initiation into the wider Vineyard 'tribe', and encouragement to keep going.”    

“I've personally attended 4 worship leader retreats…[they] have provided unique opportunities to hear from God. Each time I've gone, I was in spots where I needed renewed vision, encouragement, community with other leaders, and extended worship times. Without fail, I walked away with hope and excitement for the future of worship in my own church…Anyone who has the chance to go will not regret it…it will bring back good fruit for years to come.”

Our main goal is to provide a place of refreshing, renewal, and connection for you, the worship leader. Our hope is that through this retreat, you will have the space needed to gain fresh vision and encouragement for your life and ministry.
