EndureHer Women's Retreat

Thursday, November 5 - Saturday, November 7, 2026

Turf Valley Resort, Ellicott City, Maryland

We are excited to invite you to our 2026 Women’s Retreat —a sacred time set apart for women to step away from life’s demands and into a space of rest, reflection, and spiritual renewal. Rooted in our theme EndureHer: Pressed to Purpose (2 Corinthians 4:7–8), we will gather as women who have been pressed—but not crushed—expecting God to renew our strength, restore our joy, and reveal purpose in every season as we worship, connect, and grow together.

  • What it means to shift from coping to walking in your calling

…and so much more.
