REFRESH is a retreat designed for EFCA Senior Pastors and their spouses to get away to be refreshed in their marriages and ministries. The worship gatherings, schedule and environment are all designed to encourage long-term, healthy ministry for senior pastors and their spouses.

THIS YEAR’S THEME: RESILIENT JOY

Ministry is beautiful—but it’s also hard. For pastors and their wives, the weight of leadership, expectations, and spiritual warfare can feel overwhelming. That’s why “Refresh” exists: to offer space, truth, and encouragement for those called to serve the local church. This year’s theme, Resilient Joy, draws from 1 Peter and speaks directly to those who are tired, discouraged, or on the brink of burnout.

Together, we’ll explore how to maintain perspective by remembering who we are in Christ, embrace the tension of trials that are temporary, sad, and yet deeply productive, and anticipate triumph by living today in the victory Christ has already secured. Through worship, teaching, and fellowship, you’ll be reminded that joy isn’t the absence of hardship—it’s the presence of Jesus in the midst of it. Come be refreshed. Come be reminded. Come be renewed.

Andy Kvernen is our speaker this year!
