Submit this form to apply for assistance to attend this Pastor Renewal Retreat. If you need immediate help, please call 828-771-4800.

Please Note: Applicant must be actively serving in a current ministry role as a lead/senior pastor or associate pastor.* Resource assistance will cover Pastor Renewal Retreat meals, as well as 2 night’s lodging, for pastor and spouse. (Note: Lodging assistance is limited to those living outside of Buncombe and Henderson counties.)

A materials fee of $30 per person ($60 per couple) is required.

*While we welcome Senior and Associate Pastors to our Pastor Renewal Retreats, we realize these events can be of great benefit to others serving in various areas of pastoral ministry. For this reason, we want to provide the opportunity for these individuals to attend these events, providing that space is available .

Because funding has been designated specifically for Senior and Associate Pastors, others wishing to attend will be responsible for paying their own way (The Cove Experience Off-Property guest rate of $142). No application form will be required for these individuals, since they will not be receiving resource assistance.

To inquire about registering additional ministry staff from your church, please contact our Reservations department at 828-771-4800 after April 12th.

How can we follow the apostle Paul’s example as we lead our congregations? Come study the book of Acts and Paul’s epistles, and see what God can teach you through the instruction of the early church. You’ll be better equipped to serve as “shepherds of the church of God” (Acts 20:28, NIV).
