Practicing Sabbath is a weekly discipline we hope employees are actively incorporating into their rhythms of life. Because we believe intentional time with God is essential to our core value of Growing in Christ, we want to offer employees (Pastors, Ministers, Associates, Directors, Coordinators, and Full-Time Administrative staff) the opportunity to take one Sabbath Day, twice a year, dedicated to spiritual retreat and personal reflection. This day is intended to create space to reconnect with faith, listen to God, and recharge spiritually.
