2026 Retreat Calendar

We’re grateful for the pastors and spouses who joined us this year and experienced the gift of rest and renewal. As this season comes to a close, our team is prayerfully preparing the 2026 retreat schedule and looks forward to welcoming new and returning couples in the year ahead. Dates and registration details will be announced soon. We invite you to check back for updates as we prepare another year of meaningful retreats designed to help ministry leaders find rest.

Itinerary

Anapauo is the Greek word for rest – it means to relax, refresh, and gain relief from the toil of life. At our events, you will enjoy fellowship with other ministry leaders, encouragement in ministry life, and biblical teaching that renews your spirit for Kingdom work. Our desire is that these three days of REST will have a lasting impact on the lives and ministries of those who attend.

Dress Code: Anapauo retreats are designed to create an atmosphere of rest and relaxation. Be comfortable and dress casually. However, those who are planning to golf will need a shirt with a collar and shorts/pants that are not blue jeans.
