Events & Retreats

Currently, our retreats are exclusively for full time pastors and their spouses and are provided at no cost to our valued guests, but we are unable to accommodate children at our retreats. Deer Ridge Ministries can accommodate several pastors or pastor/spouse couples each week. Pastors in full time ministry may attend by themselves. Married pastors are urged to bring their spouse.

Besides our regular retreats in which we typically host married couples from Sunday through Friday, we also host an annual Pastors' Wives' Getaway, each Spring, as a gift for these very special ladies.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are looking to register for an event, please go to the "event calendar" page, click on the event, and you can register using the form on that page.
