We are excited to invite you to the 2025 Carolina Black Clergy Leadership Retreat, a sacred time set apart for renewal, relationship-building, and communion with God and God’s people. This year, we gather under the theme: “Ascension: The Power of the Preached Word” (Acts 1:4-5) to explore the transformative impact of preaching in our ministry contexts. Held Monday, May 19 – Friday, May 23, 2025, at Kingston Plantation in North Myrtle Beach, SC, this retreat offers a space for rest, reflection, and reconnection with the call God has placed upon our lives.
We have invited incredible presenters and subject-matter experts to guide us in deepening our preaching and pastoral practice. For this, we give glory to God! Lay and clergy, we encourage you to mark your calendars and make plans to join us for five days and four nights of learning, fellowship, and restoration. Registration is now open—don’t miss this opportunity to be refreshed in the Spirit alongside colleagues in ministry! Join us; all are welcome.
