Reflective Prayer Retreats
December / January | Dates TBa
Get away alone and seek greater intimacy with God! It’s good to slow down, thank him for his blessings, and spend time in his word.
These quiet retreats include devotionals, worship, and self-guided reflection journals that help you spend quality time in prayer for your family, vocation, ministry, sins, and other areas of life. As you engage in this focus, we pray God would provide what you need for the coming year.
Why attend?
“We need to pray, but feel that we don’t have time to… until we do it, and then we can’t do without it!” The time you invest in your life spiritually yields eternal dividends. Escape from the world, rest in God’s creation, and set spiritual goals at Harvey Cedars this winter.
Winter Chill

January 8-10, 2027
January 15-17, 2027

This retreat is for groups, not individuals.

This summit will benefit you and your ministry, and others will benefit from you and your experience as well!
Bring your team!
The Youth Leader Summit gives your team some of the most practical youth ministry training available. You’ll also worship, plan, and play together, enhance your skills, expand your networks, and get inspired to engage and impact lives.
We intentionally under-program the summit so you can block out time to plan together, dream together, and take a walk on the beautiful shore.
We also invite you to bring your spouses! Affordable pricing allows for a perfect opportunity to enjoy a few days together on the Jersey Shore.
