    You Were Made to Walk.

    Before there were cities, screens, schedules, and noise — there was a garden. Before there were sermons and sanctuaries — there was a walk in the cool of the day.

    On April 4, we invite you to step away from the rush and rediscover what it means to walk with God.

    WALK is a one-day immersive retreat that unfolds entirely outdoors along the trails of Sunset Lake. This event is for individuals seeking spiritual renewal - Leaders looking for margin - Couples or friends wanting shared reflection - anyone feeling far away from The Garden and looking to reconnect with their Creator.

    This is not a conference.
    This is not a lecture series.
    This is a guided spiritual journey — step by step.

    What to Expect:

    6-8 miles of walking through varied terrain, both on and off trail. Scripture teachings at stops along the way. Guided reflections and solitude time. A trained naturalist teaching along the way. Outdoor lunch provided. scheduled bathroom breaks along the way.

    What to Bring:

    Sturdy hiking shoes, long pants, rain gear if needed, small day back with water and optional trail snacks. Pen for writing in journal.
