There are seasons in the life of a ministry when growth is not driven by programs or strategy, but by people.

Serenity Retreat for Healing and Spiritual Renewal has always been a place set apart. A place where individuals come weary and leave restored. A place where God meets people in deeply personal ways and brings healing that cannot be manufactured.

As we look ahead, we believe the next chapter of Serenity Retreat will not be built through complexity, but through faithful partnership.

For this reason, we are forming the Serenity Retreat Community Board.

This is not a traditional board with heavy obligations or ongoing meetings. It is a simple, intentional circle of trusted individuals who believe in the mission and are willing to help carry it forward in three meaningful ways.

First, by lending their name and influence.
By simply sharing the story of Serenity Retreat with others, doors begin to open. Awareness grows. People who are searching for healing find their way here.

Second, by making a meaningful annual investment.
Community Board members are those who already have a heart to give and who understand the importance of sustaining what God is building. Their generosity helps ensure that more individuals and families can encounter the healing presence of God through Serenity Retreat.

Third, by gathering once a year.
Each spring, we will come together for a Community Board Luncheon to share what God is doing, where we are going, and how the vision is unfolding.

That is the invitation.

It is not complicated.
It is not time-intensive.
It is simply a call to partnership.

In many ways, it is about placing your name in the margin of a story that God is writing through Serenity Retreat.

We believe that as this circle of leaders forms, God will use these relationships to expand the reach of the ministry in ways we could not accomplish alone.

With that in mind, I would like to personally invite you to join us for a special gathering.
