Emerging Leaders Retreat - 18-30’s

22-23 June 2027
Eastwood Hall Hotel,
Nottingham

Every young leader needs a place to receive, be equipped, and be encouraged. A place to find community and understanding among other women who just get it.

BOOK FOR 2027

  • “I use the phrase quite a lot in ministry about laying the table for others. So it was just beautiful to be told that the table was laid for me.”

    Julie - Church Leader

  • “The worship was so free that I found myself foot stomping and arm raising and lots of maybe undignified ways that I was just communicating with God. As a leader, as a woman, I hadn’t realised just how many inhibitions I carry when worshipping in a church setting.”

    Becki - Church Leader

  • “I came to the retreat feeling battered and bruised, the lowest I’ve ever been. But God knew and God spoke through you all. It was such an encouragement and a refreshment to get up and keep going.”

    Hazel - Church Leader

BOOK FOR 2027

Your Invitation

Over the last six years we have hosted several retreats for women in senior church leadership. These have been precious times of connecting with other women and meeting with Jesus in a space where we can celebrate the joys, and recognise the challenges, of our roles.

In 2027, we're excited to be opening up a new retreat specifically for emerging women leaders aged 18–30.

This is something that has been on our hearts for a long time. We know how valuable it is to be invested in at this stage of life and leadership: to build relationships with other women on a similar path, to be encouraged and equipped, and to gain wisdom and insight from those further ahead in the journey.

We want to create a space where women can be encouraged in the gifts God has given you, grow in confidence in your calling and be strengthened for the road ahead.

There’ll be lots of space for worship and prayer plus input that we hope will strengthen and inspire you to encounter Jesus as you lead.

The retreat will initially be by invitation, with women nominated by their church leaders. 

We are hosting the retreat at Eastwood Hall, a hotel just 10 miles from Nottingham, on Tuesday 22nd- Wednesday 23rd June 2027. Included in our retreat is;

  • En-suite Accommodation (option for twin or single rooms)

  • Pastries and Coffee on arrival
