What is a Leader Retreat?

At a DLN Leader Retreat our goal is to equip and care for you as champions of disciple-making! We want to provide a moment that steps away from the noise of ministry and give a moment to refresh in an intimate setting. Therefore, our desire is for you to walk away ready to face the next season of ministry. 

The uniqueness of the DLN Leader Retreat is its size. Our goal is to currently provide accommodations for only 30 participants (and their spouses). This way the discussion and time spent does not feel rushed and pressured. Real conversations and strategies can be formed. Real rest can also take place. 

Spouses are able to attend any session of their choosing or to gather with other spouses for intentional activities.
