"Come with me to a quiet place and get some rest."
~ Jesus Christ
You are invited to join others on a journey that will lead you into a deeper and more intimate relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and restore your soul. The Deeper Journey is a learning community for pastors, ministry leaders, and any Christ-follower who longs to rekindle their first love and engage in spiritual rhythms to increase their awareness of God’s presence more fully, to hear his voice more clearly, and to experience his love and grace more deeply.
The Deeper Journey is a two-year commitment to attend eight forty-two hour retreats; to actively participate in a large community, a small group, communal worship, and to engage in spiritual disciplines between retreats. Each retreat focuses on one primary spiritual practice with significant time set aside for solitude, silence, and rest. Small groups meet during and between each retreat.
New communities are launched periodically in DeWitt, Michigan and Rockford, Illinois. Click on location pages for schedules.
