A One-Day Spiritual Renewal Retreat for Senior Pastors

A One-Day Spiritual Renewal Retreat for Senior Pastors and Full-Time Ministerial Staff

“There is a refreshing that comes from the presence of the Lord.” — Acts 3:19

A Day of Refreshing, hosted by The Ingram Difference Spiritual Renewal Center, is a one-day spiritual retreat created for senior pastors and full-time ministry leaders who desire intentional time with God.

Those who lead in ministry often carry sacred responsibilities that leave little room for their own spiritual rest. This retreat offers a meaningful pause from the demands of daily ministry, inviting participants into a rhythm of rest, reflection, silence, and renewal in God’s presence.

Through guided moments of prayer, reflection, and quiet space, participants will have the opportunity to reconnect spiritually, gain renewed strength, and return to ministry refreshed.
