The retreats begin on Monday 12:00 p.m. through Wednesday noon. It is a chance to slow down and fellowship, and includes two overnight stays
with meals and lodging at the Castle.
Monday is a day of coaching lectures, dialog, and practical exercises that will help you
RE-START your ministry.
Tuesday is a time of personal prayer, assimilation, planning and restructuring your disciplines and ministry plans.
Wednesday morning is for finalizing your disciplines and strategies, and sharing your plans and the changes you will make in your ministry.
We have found that two days and nights gives us room to think, pray, plan, discuss and make plans to put the teaching into practice.
The ideal size of this cohort (Band of Brothers) is between 5-10 men. This gives us opportunity to get to know each other and for one-on-one coaching.
