We are thrilled and grateful to share a new chapter in the ministry of Serenity — it’s our great pleasure to announce the launch of The Serenity Retreat Community Board! On April 24th at The Forest Club, we hosted our inaugural Community Board Luncheon and Spring Fundraiser, gathering community leaders who are helping carry the work of Serenity forward—lending their influence, sowing into the ministry, and stepping into a vision where they will help host this annual gathering and invite others into the story of what God is doing. With heartfelt gratitude, we thank all who joined us as Founding Members. We are excited for what is ahead as we continue to expand the reach of Serenity Retreat together.

Our inaugural Community Board Luncheon also serves as our annual spring fundraiser. As we enter the summer season, we have experienced unexpected strain on our air conditioning systems at our Bellville campus and invite you to prayerfully consider continuing to support the work of Serenity. Your partnership helps to ensure that Transformation Prayer Ministry continues to grow and the retreat environment remains a place of rest, renewal, and comfort for all who come seeking healing. We trust the Lord will continue to provide all that is needed and are exceedingly grateful for your partnership at this time.
