We're excited to invite you to our 2025 Church Retreat, held at the beautiful Orchard Glory Farm Resort over the September long weekend.
Last year's Retreat was ridiculously good fun. Core memories include morning tractor rides to feed the animals, times of teaching and worship, a scavenger hunt, meaningful nights of prayer, carnival games, watching the footy, and aperitivo hour.
This year we're excited to be joined by Jon Tran, church planter and pastor of Grasslands Church in Melbourne's West. Jon is a priest of the Anglican Church and planted Grasslands about the same time Everhope came into being. Jon is married to Blessy, and together they have three young boys. He's passionate about helping others encounter the love of God, lowering ourselves in vulnerability so that we might grasp the beauty of Jesus.
The accommodation at Orchard Glory is very comfortable for young and old. Prices have increased by 5% since last year, but we've still endeavoured to make it as affordable for you as possible. Here's the standard pricing:
Kids under 3yo (BYO bedding): $11
Kids over 3yo (BYO bedding): $91 (35% discount)
Kids over 3yo: $141 (30% discount)
Adults: $206
We don't want the cost to be a barrier to anyone. Thanks to the Lutheran Homes Foundation WA, we can offer subsidies of 25-75% if you're in the midst of financial hardship. Fill out the registration form and follow the prompts.
