Healthy churches start with healthy marriages
Apply to be part of this 3-day event and take your ministry and marriage to the next level
Couples Retreats
Burnout is real, and ministry at any level comes with its share of burdens, demands, and immense pressures causing marriages to absorb more than expected. One of our goals at Accelerate Group is to help pastors and their spouses invest in their marriage in tandem with their ministry. Performing at a high level on a consistent basis demands proactive planning and diligent preparation, we equip couples with practical tools to keep both at a healthy and sustainable balance.
A different kind of retreat for Pastors and their wives.
Pastor Don, Sue, and the team will take you through critical discussion topics they’ve encountered in ministry and marriage. Their unique approach to how the agenda unfolds at this 3-day event will surprise you and enrich your relationship and ministry skills, recharging you for the season ahead. A highlight for the ladies during this retreat is the time spent with other women who can relate to their unique roles and demands in the church. Sue leads the ladies in real, valuable, and candid conversations on raising a family, taking care of the home, and navigating through tough seasons of ministry as a pastor’s wife. Spouses will develop a support network throughout the retreat and gain new friendships to share their experiences and wisdom.
Join us in sunny Phoenix, Arizona!
Our couples retreats are currently held in Phoenix, Arizona. We invite you and your spouse to leave daily grinds and responsibilities behind for a few days to join us for the beautiful weather, and an incredible time to recalibrate, and recharge.
“The time away was great, and for us it’s hard to come by but you can’t afford to not give your marriage preventive care. Diving into how marriage affects your ministry was the most important takeaway. Accelerate Group had us ask each other the hard questions, things we didn’t even think to ask, it was extremely helpful.
