Pastor Renewal Retreat
Pastor Renewal Retreat: Keeping Strong for Service
with Jim Cymbala
Worship Leader, Michael O'Brien
May 11-13, 2026
“Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers” (Acts 20:28, ESV). The Enemy wants to keep you discouraged and distracted, but the Lord wants to renew and strengthen you daily. Come let timeless truths found in the New Testament rejuvenate you and equip you to continue feeding your flock with fresh, vibrant sermons.
