CLOSER:
A Marriage Prayer Retreat
Do you crave spiritual intimacy and better communication in your marriage? Do you find it difficult to have Jesus be the focus and mission of your relationship with your spouse? We invite you to join us at Closer: A Prayer Retreat for Couples.
Closer is a uniquely crafted prayer retreat for couples to seek after God and His Heart and purposes for you individually and as a couple. Whether you are mature in your faith or new to the journey, Closer provides a sacred time and place to grow and seek wisdom in your marriage.
- Meeting times provide context + instruction for how to spend time seeking God in prayer.
- You will be encouraged as you spend time with other couples pursuing the same things.
- This weekend will provide room to breathe. Our programs team has provided suggestions for optional activities to add to your experience together.
In the words of Mark Batterson, “A change of pace plus a change of place equals a change in perspective.” We hope to see you at Closer.
If you’d like to come earlier or stay after your retreat dates, lodging is available at a Programs discounted rate. Please call our reservations line at 719-265-7050 for details.
