    THE PURPOSE AND COMMUNITY RETREAT

  • PURPOSE & COMMUNITY RETREAT

    The Purpose & Community Retreat (PAC Retreat) is a transformative experience designed to bring believers together in fellowship and spiritual growth. This retreat focuses on building strong, Christ-centered community that empower individuals to live intentionally for Christ, walk in their divine destinies, and rise to new heights in faith.

    In today’s fast-paced world, the true essence of Godly community is often lost. Scripture teaches us that the early church thrived because of its deep sense of unity, mutual dependence, and community, all guided by God’s grace. We need to revive this in the church — and it begins with us. The mission of this retreat is to reignite the spirit of unity, love, oneness, and community in the body of Christ, again.

    Through prayer, meaningful activities, and fellowship, the PAC Retreat will empower you to live with purpose, for a purpose. We invite you to be apart of what God is doing! Embark on this journey to be among those called to restore community back in the church, deepen your walk with Christ, and step into your God-given destiny. You will leave empowered and inspired to become a catalyst of change, bring reformation into broken systems within the church, kingdom and marketplace, and filled with enlarged capacity to foster growth in individuals so they can go out and do the same. This PAC Retreat is the devine shift your life needs. Let the community building begin !

  • OUR CORE VALUES

    IGNITE

    PURPOSE

    At the heart of every impactful Christian life is a clear understanding of one's purpose within God's kingdom. A unified purpose is the foundation for building strong community, and within that unity lies the individualized purpose of each person. It is this personal purpose that drives each individual, which in turn fuels the greater collective purpose, creating an endless cycle of purpose discovery, purpose-driven living, and mutual encouragement to fulfill God's plan until Christ returns.

    We aim to help each participant gain clarity on their unique purpose and their specific role in God's larger plan for humanity. By the end, you will leave not only with a deeper understanding of your calling but also equipped to move forward ready to embrace the mission He has set before you.

    CULTIVATE COMMUNITY

    At the core of this retreat is the cultivation of community. God's divine plan for humanity is rooted in unity, and when this unity is nurtured, it becomes a powerful force that propels His kingdom forward.

    Through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, any negative perceptions or misconceptions surrounding Christian relationships will be transformed. Participants will leave with a renewed understanding of the vital role community plays in our journey to fulfill our individual and collective purposes. By fostering authentic connections, we will discover how deep, supportive relationships are essential to walking faithfully in our calling and advancing God's work on earth.

    EMBRACE VUNERABLITY

    Vulnerability is a cornerstone of true community. By sharing our experiences, we create connections that allow others to find strength and hope in their own journeys. Your story is not only important—it is a vital part of God’s plan to support and encourage others through their own challenges.

    It is God’s will that we open our hearts, share our triumphs and struggles, and testify to the ways we are overcoming. Through these shared testimonies, healing begins and deeper bonds are formed. This retreat will encourage you to embrace vulnerability, recognizing that both your struggles and victories play a key role in the healing and growth of the entire community.
