Helping Churches Thrive: Creative Workshop Retreat November 2026

Church in today’s world is complex and challenging. But what if churches could embrace their potential to truly THRIVE instead of accepting the pressure to simply survive?

Join us November 13-14 for the Helping Churches Thrive Creative Workshop Retreat, an essential event for church leaders and teams. This retreat offers a hands-on experience with impactful talks, practical learning tracks, collaborative learning spaces and small group sessions focused on the needs of today’s churches.

Hosted at Ardmore Baptist Church in Winston-Salem, the retreat is designed for deacon boards, ministry teams, personnel teams, properties teams, and church staff. Participants can choose from learning tracks on topics such as church legal issues, financial sustainability, building vibrant volunteer cultures, hybrid staffing models, cultivating authentic community, leading change, navigating division and more. Every session provides actionable tools to spark imagination and transform church leadership and ministry. Whether you’re tackling immediate challenges or rejuvenating your congregation’s vision, this retreat equips you to lead with confidence and creativity in an ever-evolving world.
