women’s RETREAT: “ABIDE”

May 16-18, 2025

May 16th-18th, 2025
Cascades Camp and Conference Center
Yelm, Washington

Life can leave us feeling frazzled and restless and empty. This spring, we invite you to ABIDE, our Women's Retreat. Join us on May 16th-18th at Cascades Camp and Conference Center in Yelm, Washington.

This will be a time of community, fun, growth, peace, learning, and worship. Come hear Pastor Katie teach us from God's word. Lisa Reiff will be leading us in worship. We hope you will join us! 

Support

We desire to come alongside one another, offering prayer and support through life’s painful and challenging circumstances. We provide opportunities for restoration and support as we seek healing and wholeness in Christ.

  • Mending the Soul

    Mending the Soul provides a safe environment to help women who have experienced abuse, trauma, or neglect. This group looks at the nature of abuse, how it has impacted us, and works to heal and reconnect with God and others. For more information and to get connected, please contact us below.

  • Betrayal and Beyond

    Betrayal and Beyond is a support group designed to bring healing to women who have experienced the trauma of sexual betrayal and broken trust within their marriage. The group meets weekly in a safe and confidential environment and is designed to help facilitate healing, growth, and hope! For more information, please contact our team below.

  • Stephen Ministry

    Pastors will always be on the front lines of care but can’t always meet every need by themselves. Stephen Ministry equips God’s people for ministry. Gifted laypeople receive training to support and extend the care that pastors continue to provide.

    Stephen Ministers care for people going through loss, hospitalization, divorce, spiritual crisis, illness, and many other challenges.

Connection & Growth

It is our heart to foster a safe place for women of all generations to engage in authentic relationships as we encourage one another to draw close to Jesus. We provide opportunities for women to connect through prayer and the study and application of God’s word.

Equipping

We equip women to use their gifts to serve the church, the community, and our world. We desire women to display God’s love as we serve together for the glory of God! There are many opportunities to serve and care for one another in this season and reflect Christ's love to our community and world!
