WILD Retreat
A Weekend for Women
WILD Retreat
A Women in Leadership Development ministry program
This unique retreat is designed to help women connect personally with the Lord & increase your confidence as a biblical leader.
Here at SUMMIT, we believe that leaders are called to 3 areas focused on reproducible growth:
Root in Christ (John 15),
Bloom through challenges (James 1), and
Flourish in your God-given purpose (Psalm 115).
On this retreat, we’ll play off our WILD theme of “Root. Bloom. Flourish.” by extending it past just knowing — but doing. When we follow Jesus, we have a divine calling that takes a whole lot of faith and obedience. So let’s embrace our calling to be “Faithful, Fruitful, and Fearless” as we abide in Christ and live out a fruitful life of building up others in godliness and impacting the world for Jesus!
You’ll be stretched out of your comfort zone, without sacrificing comfort. Read below to learn more about the cozy, rustic cabins of Marks Overlook Lodge. Experience God through His creation, collaborate with other women, & be inspired.
We’ll use Jesus as our example & multiple Scripture references as inspiration to transform our hearts & minds. We’ll also use exclusive SUMMIT curriculum to apply practical leadership skills to our areas of influence.
Join us as we grow together as women, leaders, & influential world-changers.
Your registration includes accommodations, meals, goodie bags, materials, and an exclusive t-shirt to commemorate the weekend.
A packing list is sent to participants a few weeks before the retreat.
