Leadership Retreat •  September 28–30 • Grapevine, Texas

Step away from the demands of ministry, reconnect with your family and fellow leaders, and return home refreshed for the season ahead.

Before Fall Fills Your Calendar…

Summer always seems to pass more quickly than we expect. Before long, ministry calendars are full, church activities are in full swing, and the holiday season is just around the corner. Before that busy pace takes over, what would it look like to intentionally slow down, catch your breath, and allow God to refresh your heart? That’s exactly what Healthy Church Solutions’ ReCharge Leadership Retreat is designed to do.

Why ReCharge?

ReCharge is intentionally small, creating space for:

• Meaningful worship
• Honest conversations with fellow ministry leaders
• Biblical encouragement
• Rest and recreation
• Deeper relationships

Many churches now make ReCharge their annual staff retreat, bringing pastors, spouses, and ministry leaders together to be refreshed as a team.

2026 Theme: Healthy Families

This year’s sessions will encourage you as you:

• Lead your own family well
• Shepherd the families in your church
• Build lasting ministry priorities
• Find hope for difficult family seasons

One of the Best Parts of ReCharge

Each year, many of our North American church planting families attend ReCharge for encouragement and renewal. It’s a unique opportunity to hear their stories, pray with them, and build friendships with those serving on the front lines of ministry. You’ll leave encouraged—not only by the teaching, but by the people.

Give the Gift of ReCharge

Not planning to attend? Consider sending your pastor and spouse as a Pastor Appreciation gift. Pastors, consider bringing your entire ministry team. Investing in healthy leaders strengthens healthy churches.
