Join us from March 8 to March 10, 2026 at the Mount Carmel Retreat Center in Alexandria, Minnesota, and experience a one-of-a-kind, intimate retreat designed specifically for Grandparent couples who desire to pass on a spiritual legacy that outlives them.
Grow closer as a couple while enjoying an uplifting time of fellowship, shared wisdom, and experiences with like-minded grandparents who are passionate about maximizing their generational impact.
You will be equipped with practical and applicable tools and ideas that can be applied immediately.
Topics include:
- Examining God’s biblical directives for grandparents and their pivotal role in the family’s spiritual journey
- Investing in the spiritual development of your grandchildren, through intentional action, discipleship, storytelling, and prayer
- Cultivating deeper, more effective cross-generational communication, bridging gaps between generations
- Navigating challenges and barriers such as long-distance relationships, prodigal children, estrangement, and spiritual resistance
- Fostering deeper relationships with your adult children as they raise your grandchildren in a world of shifting cultural dynamics and non-biblical worldviews
- Developing a sustainable plan to maximize your generational impact
