Pismo Beach
In 2024 we are headed back to Ventura for our annual pastors and spouses retreat. We are planning an amazing time to help our pastors and their spouses have a mini-sabbatical. We believe this year could be the first step in a life changing experience... it's that important. We will be returning to the SeaCrest Oceanfront Hotel. Our meeting space and meals will also be on the hotel's campus.

Costs
Retreats are expensive. We can help.
We are working hard to create a high quality retreat at a suspiciously low price to help the Retreat fit into your church budget and ministry calendar. We know many of you are short on both, and yes, your church should be covering this, not you. If you can't afford to come, please contact us. If you want to see a cost breakdown, scroll down.

Fun
Care
We are going to have fun.
Fun. Together. With Jesus. It's the recipe for a perfect retreat. If you bring you, we'll bring the fun. And you know Jesus is going to do His part. How can we afford to miss this!!!
This year we are experimenting with providing some fun options called EXCURSIONS on Tuesday. These ideas are curated for you and guided by people you know. See below for Excursions.

Ministry is hard. We can help.
We all need help. And we want to help. This year we are brining in a Coach to offer a free session to those who are willing to take advantage of it. And it's confidential. Your registration will be confidential and sent exclusively to our counselor.
If you think you probably don't need it, you should sign up. If you think you might need it, you should sign up. If you know you need it, you should sign up.
This is a service for our pastors because we believe in you. This is also for our pastor's marriage so you can sign up for a couples session. It's also for our pastor's spouses too.
Once you register for the retreat, you will get access to our counseling registration, which is separate and private. Your registration goes exclusively to our counselor. To learn more about our counselor, see below.

Surfing
Hitting the waves in the morning is a classic for an LA Retreat! The dawn patrol is a legit experience you will want to try. If your a kook (beginner) looking for someone to show you the ropes or you just want a bro to drop in on a banger and rip it... we got you, kahuna. Sign up and we will connect you with our leader to let you know the when and where! You may need to rent a board and wetsuit.
Golfing
OK. Some of you wanted to let big bertha rip. So we are putting together an excursion to go golfing. Unlike our other excursions that have an experienced leader to help you through the sport, this excursion is just pairing up those who want to go golfing. We will send you all the list of who wants to hit the links and the info to the local course so you can book your foursomes!

Cost Breakdown
Hotel
Our hotel costs are up 20% despite us picking the most affordable week at the best time to book. More than 85% of your event fee goes directly to the hotel.
Food
We want you to have great food on an affordable budget. You can expect great food, which represents 15% of your event fee. Breakfasts are included with your hotel and dinners will be provided at our evening sessions. Lunch is on your own.
Care
We are planning to make your retreat feel like a retreat. We have 5+ care items to help you relax and recharge. This only takes up 5% of your event because we have so many incredible volunteers and sponsors who want to invest you.
Speaker
We are working on providing a speaker and worship for our sessions. We want you to have inspiring sessions that help build District community. Usually this represents about 10% of your event fee.
Sponsors
If you are counting, we have spent 115% of your event and that's just simplifying a complex budget. So how do we do it? Sponsors! We have several sponsors who have given thousands of dollars to invest in you. Including our churches and pastors who are donating time, resources, and facility space. This retreat will change some of our pastor's ministries, families, and health. If you want to sponsor, this is a remarkable opportunity to invest in ministry through pastoral health. Email Pastor James to partner with us.
Volunteer
It takes several dozen volunteers to pull off the Retreat. We need people with all kinds of talent and hobbies who can serve behind the scenes or in small group situations. If you want to volunteer, we have a role that needs you. Email Pastor James to volunteer.
