Worship Leaders
Featuring: Darrell Johnson,
Marissa Ochoa & Friends
November 11 - 14, 2026
Join us around the table.
Those who lead others into God’s presence often lack spaces to be renewed themselves. This retreat will offer space for just that: heart-level refreshment and renewal.
Together we’ll explore a deeply rooted theology of worship through sessions grounded in both calling and craft. During spacious times of fireside worship, we’ll invite the Holy Spirit’s warm, personal work among us. Father & daughter Darrell Johnson & Marissa Ochoa will again serve as conversation partners, alongside friends from the worship world.
Outside of sessions you will have plenty of time to rest, connect with others who understand ministry life, and enjoy the beauty of Barnabas. Join us around the table—you don’t need to bring a thing.
Note: You don’t need to be an employed worship pastor to attend. While we’ll engage the realities of ministry life, this retreat is open to all who serve in worship.

Marissa Ochoa has been leading worship for the past 20 years. She was on staff at Tenth Avenue Alliance Church from 2015-2025, and last year started at Peace Portal Church as Worship and Arts Pastor. She recently returned from Toronto, spending time with 20 other worship leaders representing nearly every province, under Crossroads Media, writing songs for the greater Church in hopes that many would come to know and sing about the great love of Jesus.
Marissa has a huge heart for worship leaders and for our calling and alignment to be renewed through theological teaching and understanding of what worship truly is, while also providing spaces for us to spend meaningful and intimate moments with Jesus through music and prayer.
Marissa and her dad, Darrell, are looking forward to creating space for you to come, find restoration and be filled by his Spirit.
