What do you do when you want to take your ministry to the next level? Working harder isn’t the answer. Even working smarter only takes you so far.

The witness of faithful Christians over the ages has shown that time apart for reflection and renewal helps gain the needed perspective to see things differently and find the best way forward.

The Living Well Program does just that.

Participants will engage in a seven-month program that will result in:

• A holistic understanding of their life and ministry.
• A deep connection with other clergy colleagues who have the same desire to serve faithfully and effectively.
• A personal development plan, which includes the steps they'd like to take to make incremental and significant improvement in the aspects of life and ministry that they've identified during the program.

The program is comprised of two retreats, October 25-27, 2022 and May 2-4, 2023, as well as monthly cohort meetings between the retreats to process their learnings and support each other throughout this journey.

This is the registration for the Alpha Retreat only, October 25-27, 2022 at West River Camp.  A $50 deposit is due at the time of registration and the remaining $300 fee must be paid by October 7, 2022.  

A limited number of single occupancy rooms are available on a first come first served basis. When making your payment, please choose the additional fee for single occupancy room.

If you would like to request scholarship funds, please register and pay the $50 deposit, and then send an email to Hilary Ann Golden at hgolden@bwcumc.org for further details. (If you are not able to pay the $50 deposit, please contact Hilary before registering!).

By registering for this retreat, you are committing to also attending the Omega Retreat, May 2-4, 2023 and monthly cohort meetings.  You will need to register and pay for the Omega Retreat at a later date.
