Update: Cove lodging is full for this event; however, seats are still available for those who live in the area or have offsite lodging. To be added to our lodging waitlist, please call our Reservations department at (828) 771-4800 Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Eligibility Requirements: Must be actively serving as a lead/senior pastor or associate pastor. Assistance is limited to one actively serving lead/senior pastor and one actively serving associate pastor, per church, per year. Spouses are included.

Resource Assistance: Covers meals and two-night’s lodging for each pastor and spouse. Lodging assistance is limited to those living outside of Buncombe and Henderson counties. A materials fee of $30 per person is required.

Additional Church Ministry Staff Opportunities: While we welcome senior and associate pastors to our Pastor Renewal Retreats, we realize these events can benefit those serving in other areas of pastoral ministry. For this reason, we may offer the opportunity for them to attend these retreats, providing space is available.

Because funding is designated specifically for senior and associate pastors, other ministry staff members wishing to attend will be responsible for paying their own way. No application form will be required for these individuals.

To inquire about registering additional ministry staff from your church, please contact our Reservations department at 828-771-4800 after September 6th.
