2025 SNAD Women’s Retreat – Where Friends Gather

1. Who can attend this retreat?

All women are welcome! You do not need to be part of a Nazarene church to attend. We hope this retreat inspires you to grow closer to Jesus and make meaningful new friendships.

2. Can I bring my children?

We love children and value their place in our families and churches. However, this retreat is designed as a time of rest, reflection, and connection for women. To preserve this special environment, we kindly ask that only attendees ages 16 and older participate.

Please note: Youth ages 16–17 must be accompanied by an adult and may not stay in a room alone. Thank you for understanding and helping us maintain a safe and uplifting space for all attendees.
