As part of our 2025 vision to abide in Christ through spiritual disciplines, we invite the women of City Church—across all ages and stages of life—to join us for a transformative women’s retreat on April 12-13.
Together, we will dive into the book of Revelation, exploring the letters to the churches to uncover what it means to be a faithful disciple of Jesus in every season of life. Let’s grow deeper in our relationship with Christ and one another as we embrace our calling as His bride.
Mark your calendar, and don’t miss this opportunity for fellowship, growth, and renewal!
