SPE Retreat Locations

Sustaining Pastoral Excellence re-visioning retreats are designed for those in ministry who are seeking to renew their friendship with God, reignite their pastoral imagination and explore their call in a deeper way. The initiative offers two such retreats per year, with a limit of 10 participants per retreat, along with a group of spiritual directors and retreat leaders.

Past Re-visioning Retreat Locations

  • Mary and Joseph; Rancho Palo Verdes, Calif.
  • Pilgrim Pines; Swanzey, New Hampshire
  • Glen Eyrie; Colorado Springs, Colo.
  • Kanuga; Hendersonville, North Carolina
  • King’s Fold; Calgary, Alberta Canada
  • Serra Retreat Center; Malibu, Calif.
  • Dunrovin Christian Brothers Retreat Center; Marine on St. Croix, Minn.
  • Mustang Island Conference Center; Port Aransas, Tex.
  • There have been strengths and weaknesses to each retreat location. However, the response from Covenant pastors who attended at each of these locations has been exceptionally positive. As a result we feel like these places could be good options for a personal or group retreat.

    As the initiative continues to grow within the Covenant Church, more retreats will take place. We welcome suggestions of sites that would be fitting for our group. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with us; your suggestions are invaluable in guiding us.
