Build your foundation on what matters most. Our Pre- and Newly Married Couples Retreat is a unique opportunity for just 12 couples to spend time together with other couples under the guidance of of longtime friends of Barnabas and pastoral couple Doug & Loralie Phaneuf.
The weekend will be thoughtfully planned to serve those both preparing for marriage and those who have recently said their vows. In between our sessions, take in the incredible views and explore Keats Island, or relax in front of a roaring fire!
