Join us at our annual women’s fall retreat for a refreshing weekend of worship, rest, laughter, and meaningful connection. Step away from daily busyness to deepen your relationship with God and build lasting friendships with other women while enjoying the peaceful surroundings of a beautiful lakeside retreat complex. (Well, peaceful except during blacklight dodgeball and other such shenanigans).
This year's theme, Dwelling, was inspired by Ephesians 2:22, "And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit." We are so looking forward to learning from--and laughing with--our excellent keynote speaker, Lori Turner.
When: Friday, October 9 - Sunday, October 11, 2026
Where: Lake Geneva Christian Center (LGCC) - Alexandria, MN

Choose Your Lodging Experience
This year we're offering three options, allowing you to choose the experience that best fits your needs and budget. (All rooms have attached bathrooms.) The pricing listed below is for the whole weekend – sessions, meals, etc, not just lodging.
Hotel-Style Rooms:
Hotel-style rooms include beds with linens, pillows, and room towels. (If you plan to use the pool and/or hot tub, please bring a swim towel.)
Double Occupancy ($295/person + fee)
Choose your own roommate, or leave the roommate field blank and we'll assign one for you. Each woman will get their own queen or double bed.
Triple or Quad Occupancy ($270/person + fee)
A lower-cost option for women who don’t mind sharing a bed and/or sleeping in a top bunk.
Because these rooms require at least three occupants, you'll need to arrange your own roommates before registering. Start inviting!
Dorm-Style Rooms ($225/person + fee)
Looking for the most economical option—or just love the camp experience?
Dorm-style lodging accommodates up to ten women per room. You'll need to bring your own twin-sized bedding (or sleeping bag), pillow, and towels.
Many women say these rooms become some of their favorite memories of the weekend!
Why Register Early?
Registering early doesn't just help our planning—it gives you access to a few extras before the retreat!
Register by August 21: Choose your sweatshirt color!
Retreat sweatshirts are available to purchase for $25 when you register – the same cozy Jerzee style as last year!
Women who purchase a sweatshirt by August 21 may choose from several color options. After August 21, sweatshirts will still be available to purchase, but only in our retreat color of Vintage Heather Navy.
(A limited number of sweatshirts will also be available for $30 at the retreat, while supplies and sizes last.)
Register by September 11: Receive a FREE customized retreat journal.
If you enjoy taking notes, journaling, or recording what God teaches you during the weekend, register by September 11 and you can add on a customized Women's Retreat journal for free!
After September 11, the journals will still be available for $5.
Register Early for First Access to Breakout Sessions
New this year, breakout sessions sign-ups will take place online before retreat.
Women who register earliest for the retreat will receive the earliest invitation to choose their Saturday breakout sessions, giving them the best opportunity to reserve their spots before popular workshops fill up.
