Refresh Women’s Retreat
The Refresh Women’s Retreat is a sacred time to step away from the busyness of life and draw near to Jesus in the company of sisters in Christ. Together we will enjoy a weekend of fellowship, renewal, and joy as we worship, learn, and rest. Our prayer is that you leave refreshed in spirit, rejoicing in God’s blessings, and deeply connected to one another.
We are truly excited for what God will do at the Refresh Women’s Retreat 2026. We pray each woman will walk away with a deeper love for Jesus, a renewed spirit, and a heart overflowing with joy and connection.
Accommodations
We are excited to return to the Crowne Plaza Hotel & Resort, nestled in the heart of beautiful Asheville, NC. This peaceful mountain setting is the perfect place to rest, grow, and experience God’s presence.
Participants may choose between:
- Single Occupancy – enjoy your own private space for rest and reflection.
- Double Occupancy – share a room with a friend or be paired with another attendee.
All small group host volunteers will be provided a private king suite to allow space for gatherings in their rooms.

Be Part of the Retreat Team
Small Group Leaders
We are seeking women of all ages and life stages who feel called to guide a small group. Leading is not about having all the answers—it’s about creating a safe and encouraging space for women to share, learn, and grow together. As a leader, you’ll find that the joy of pouring into others is equally matched by the blessing of receiving.
Onsite Volunteers
We also need volunteers to help with hospitality and details throughout the weekend. Roles may include greeting attendees, setting up candles and décor, and assisting with room transitions. These simple acts of service play a big role in making the retreat warm and welcoming for everyone.
