Three Retreats. One Goal:
A More Effective You!

Our shifting society and postmodern culture demand new approaches from churches and pastors. Church leaders worry about meeting the needs of the future while staying true to their essential traditions and beliefs. How do you keep your balance in the midst of it all?

Tending the Fire offers opportunities for learning and renewal across a series of three retreats.

Clergy who attend our retreat series become better leaders: less worried, more engaged, and renewed in their call to ministry.
