• "Michelle and I can not thank you and the supporters of Deer Ridge Ministries enough. We came very tired and discouraged. We had been trusting the Lord through some very difficult times... We continue to recommend this ministry to every pastor who will listen. Because we know, they will receive the same loving ministry and care from the Lord and Dave & Louise as we have. Rich Blessings!" - Craig & Michelle Carter
Retreat Attendees

Currently, our retreats are exclusively for full time pastors and their spouses, and are provided at no cost to our valued guests. Besides our regular retreats in which we typically host several married couples from Sunday through Friday, we also host an annual Pastors' Wives' Getaway, also as a gift for these very special ladies.

NOTE: SCHEDULED RETREATS IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY ARE FULL! We have acquired a beautiful new ministry home for Deer Ridge Ministries retreats, in Freeport, IL. We have begun the process of cleaning, decorating and furnishing the house. While we will be getting the new place ready in 2010, we have no current plans for scheduling any added retreats until the new place is ready. We ask you to check the Retreat calendar for any additional retreats until June, 2010. Thanks for your understanding.
