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 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!

DOUG & LORALIE PHANEUF
Doug and Loralie serve together at Living Springs in Airdrie, Alberta. Doug has served for over 30 years as Lead Pastor and is now transitioning to Discipleship Pastor at the same church. Loralie is the Community Pastor and loves to gather people around food and fun.
They have been married 30 years and have launched two kids (age 26 and 23) and have one more to go (age 11). If they're not at the church or soccerfield, you'll find them playing games with family and friends. They are thrilled to be back to spend time with pre- and newly married couples.
