There is still time to help us reach our Giving Tuesday goals!
MARRIAGE RETREATS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Let's be honest, every married couple needs time away.
Marriage Retreats at Forest Springs provide a perfect environment for you and your spouse to disconnect from your everyday tasks and obligations. With an array of relationship-building activities, opportunities for meaningful conversations, and great biblical teachings, couples can come away feeling renewed and reconnected.
TWO WEEKENDS TO CHOOSE FROM
MARRIAGE RETREAT 1
November 6-8, 2026
Featured speaker: Bill & Pam Farrel
Bill and Pam have been fascinated with the question, ‘How?’ ever since they met. When they got married they knew three things: (1) We love Jesus. (2) We love each other. (3) We have a lot to learn if we want to have a successful marriage. That created a passion in their hearts to figure out how relationships work. They have sought answers to these questions through reading books, their own personal growth as a couple and through professional research. Bill and Pam honestly believe anyone can have great relationships so they have devoted our lives to sharing the practical insight they have learned with as many people as possible.
Price: $408-$592/per couple
