WHO’S IT FOR?

The National Retreat is for Soma pastors and spouses, their teams, and those leaning into Soma or thinking about becoming Soma. It’s an opportunity to connect as a network of churches, be encouraged by all that God is doing in our midst, learn from and support one another.

ABOUT

We’re really looking forward to gathering together as God’s people in Adelaide at the beautiful Nunyara Conference Centre. We’ll have lots of time to connect with one another and to be refreshed as we rest physically, mental and spiritually through time together, time in God’s word, time in prayer and time enjoying God’s creation.

 

 

We’ll enjoy structured and unstructured time together through a range of session times and community time. We’ll hear from different speakers including from Brad Watson the Director of Global Areas. The Soma National Retreat is for Soma pastors and spouses, their teams, and those leaning into, or thinking about becoming, Soma. It’s an opportunity to connect as a family of churches, be encouraged by all that God is doing, learn from and support one another.

KIDS

We love our kids! However, the Retreat is an opportunity for husbands and wives to have a refreshing break together. For this reason we encourage you to come without your children, if possible. If you do want to bring kids, please be aware that no childcare will be provided.
