About the event
Often women in ministry, especially pastors' wives, are the unseen, unsung heroes of the church. These faithful leaders often focus on everyone else's needs with little time left for themselves.
Pastors Collective women’s retreats are designed for women in church leadership and focus on rest, refueling and being in community with like minded women. Participants will experience a relaxed atmosphere with a loose schedule, allowing time to unwind and rejuvenate. Activities include a variety of recreational activities including boating, fishing, biking, yoga, massage, paddle boarding, kayaking, nature walks, and connecting by the fire pit.
Every evening, attendees are invited to join evening discussions focused on soul care. These heartfelt conversations create a safe space to share and connect with each other while creating caring community. The primary objectives are simple: connect with God, build meaningful connections, and rest. We aim to refresh leaders as they step back into leading in their church role.

Description
The Retreat at Church Creek - the Pastor Collective's flagship retreat center - provides refuge for pastors who just need a break or are struggling with isolation, loneliness and burnout.
Providing sanctuary on 66 beautiful waterfront acres in peaceful Lowcountry surroundings, just minutes from Charleston, South Carolina, our four-day retreat offers ample opportunity to relax, recharge and reconnect with small groups of like-minded ministry leaders.
With a flexible schedule and no pressure, you’re free to do as much or as little as you like—whether it’s fishing, kayaking, being with others or having a time of solitude. Our recently renovated retreat house, along with our dedicated team, ensures you’ll be well taken care of with comfortable accommodations and thoughtfully prepared meals.
