Horizon is a lakeside retreat that provides rest and renewal for pastors and ministry directors reaching the next generation. Set along the shores of Geneva Lake, this unhurried gathering combines worship, reflection, and fellowship to help leaders return refreshed and ready for the next season of ministry.

"We felt loved and cared for. It was great to have so much space and time to pray and process! Also, and this cannot be overstated, it is so helpful to hear that we are not alone in the struggles and hardships we experience in ministry. We walked away encouraged and with more gas in the tank to do what God has called us to do. As a plus, the food was unbelievable, but in a fantastic way. Normally, camp food is, well, not great. We experienced some AMAZING food."

- Daniel D., Student Ministry Pastor, Wauconda, IL

Whether you want to book a private room or you'd prefer a more rustic lodging experience, don't miss this opportunity to recharge.

Spouses are welcome to attend and participate fully in the experience. However, each individual must complete their own registration.

Registration for this retreat is limited to 5 staff members per ministry (that number does not include spouses).

"I had been feeling overwhelmed. Horizon was a wonderful opportunity for me to slow down and refresh. I appreciated the balance of connection with others in ministry and intentional time alone with God -- space to pray, listen, and gain some clarity. The entire experience was such a blessing. I left feeling cared for and more prepared for what was ahead."

- Amy C., Family Life Pastor, Glen Ellyn, IL
