A note from Pastor Greg
All I Want for Christmas, kinda
 

If you are in a hurry jump here, otherwise please keep reading.

As you are probably aware, I am devoting this season of my life to helping pastors live well and finish strong. I want them to be well so that they can build well.

Burnout is real and we are losing too many along the way.

 

The Retreat

  • We started The Retreat at Church Creek in 2021.

  • The experience is 4 days & 3 nights with me and the team, 15 leaders at a time.

  • This year we added a 12-week aftercare program with trained cohort leaders.

  • Next year we are adding Marriage and Counseling Intensives through the new Seacoast Counseling Center.

  • At the retreat, we will take anyone, but our bullseye is what my friend, Billy Hornsby, used to call "the little guys" - pastors of churches of 500 or less. They need it the most but can least afford it, so we make it free.       (Currently 72% of our attendees fit this category.)

The Response

  • So far we have served over 2,000 leaders.

  • It's the most rewarding thing I have ever been a part of.

  • In an anonymous survey, 51% indicate that the experience is life changing.

​

 

The Challenge

  • Because of the overwhelmingly positive response, this year the county required us to do an upfit/remodel that cost $1.5M above our normal operating expenses. It's going to be awesome (to the degree that sprinkler systems and septic tanks are awesome)!!

  • Did I mention that it cost more and took longer than we anticipated?

​

We need your help

  • We are ending the year with a shortfall of $500,000.

  • We simply don't have the cushion to absorb it.

  • Can you, your business or your church pray about helping us?

​

Christmas Gift Ideas

  • A one-time gift of any amount would be greatly appreciated!!

  • A monthly gift is the gift that keeps on giving, not only to us but to all the pastors and leaders we serve!!​

 

Seriously...

  • I do need your help, I don’t know how else to say it.

  • I’m passionate about what we are doing, it’s working, and I don’t know how else to ask. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

PS: If you have already given this season, thank you!! You can ignore this and just pray for us (unless God gives you a generous nudge to give more. Never ignore a generous urge.
