Thrive offers a variety of retreats for pastors, church leaders and their spouses that address a number of topics including deepening their relationship with God and burnout or bullying prevention/recovery. This includes Soul Focus and Growing Intimacy with God retreats.

Help underwrite the cost:  Soul Focus $140 per person for 4 retreats.   Growing Intimacy with God – $350 per person

These 14 week groups, based on formational prayer, help individuals heal from past ministry and life experiences.  By taking some of their ‘baggage’ to the Lord they find freedom from behaviours that impact their relationships and leadership.

A few times throughout the year, our team puts together gift baskets, homemade cookies and hand written notes of encouragement and delivers them to pastors in the Niagara area.  We have seen many pastor’s incredibly touched by this simple gesture.
