Schedule
“Refuge” promises to present a schedule unlike most conferences or retreats. Our vision is to provide structured sessions for worship, encouragement, fellowship, and ministry while giving plenty of time for rest, relaxation, recreation, and solitude. Our schedule is flexible and is not only subject to change, but “likely to change”. So take a deep breath, feel the ocean breeze in your hair, and smell the salt in the air. It’s time for refreshing.
Optional: Excursions to enjoy the area, to help unwind, and connect!
For those who attended Refuge in October, you’ll come back home, and enjoy many of the favorites you experienced here on St. Simons and perhaps something new!
