Four Days of Fellowship, Prayer, and Renewal
From August 19–22, 2026, pastors and their wives from the Southwest Region gathered in Auburn, California, for a special pastoral retreat.
These four days created space for meaningful conversations, united prayer, practical seminars, and fellowship among ministry families. Away from the demands of daily service, participants were able to rest, encourage one another, and renew their strength for the work God has entrusted to them.
The retreat brought together different generations of leaders. Youth and experience, maturity and fresh vision complemented one another, deepening relationships and strengthening unity across the region.

The time in Auburn renewed ministry families and brought pastors and their wives even closer together for shared service. The conversations, prayers, and seminars inspired future initiatives and encouraged continued cooperation among the churches of the Southwest Region.
“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!”
Psalm 133:1 (KJV)
We thank God for these days of fellowship and for every family committed to serving Christ and His Church. May the Lord continue to guide, strengthen, and unite His servants in the work ahead.
