MRC Fall Retreat Registration

The 2025 MRC Fall Retreat will bring together ministers, spouses, mentors, and friends for a time of connection and renewal.

Who? If you consider yourself a minister (congregational, campus, chaplaincy, academic, etc.) and are in the first five years of ministry, this retreat is for you. If you are a member of the mentoring community, you are invited. If you are the spouse of a minister or member of the mentoring community, we welcome you as well.

When? The retreat will start Thursday evening, September 25 and go through 11 a.m. on Saturday morning, September 27.

Where? The retreat will take place at the Lambuth Inn at Lake Junaluska, NC.
Accommodations and sessions will be in this building of the Lake Junaluska Retreat Center, located on a hill overlooking the lake. If you are flying, please fly into the Asheville Regional Airport.

This year we are asking for a $75 registration fee up front. If you are in the first five years of ministry or this is your first time coming to this retreat, the registration fee will be refunded back to you with your travel reimbursement after the event. If you are not in your first five years and you have been to this retreat in the past but need assistance with travel funds, please email Beth Jarvis to apply for a travel scholarship. Registration closes on August 1, 2025. Reserve your spot on the retreat by filling out the form below!

The content of this retreat will focus on supporting ministers in their first five years of ministry. If you are in your first five years of ministry, what would you welcome a session or conversation about? If you once were in your first five years, what conversations or practices would have been helpful?
Which of these are you most looking forward to?
Optional Afternoon Art Workshop
This year we are excited to have Milligan's resident artist Sydney Reeder-Wood joining us as our Artist on Retreat. Sydney's art will be featured in some of the prayer guides throughout the retreat. We are offering two, one hour, workshops during the free time on Friday afternoon. If you would like to participate in a one-hour workshop and create your own block print, please select a time below. This helps us know how many supplies to purchase and bring ahead of time.
Once you submit your registration, you will receive an email with a link to submit payment.
