Well-Being Retreat

Well-Being Retreat can help you become more deeply connected to your purpose and calling.

This annual gathering is sponsored by the Board of Pensions, in partnership with the Presbyterian Foundation and New Covenant Trust Company.

Eligible participants who attend the retreat will be awarded 100 Call to Health points following the program.

Who should attend

All members of the Benefits Plan of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) — including active and retired ministers and employees, spouses, and surviving spouses — are welcome.

For all participants, Well-Being Retreat offers time away from the usual routines to think, breathe, play, and connect with a multigenerational community of plan members.
