2025 All-Church Retreat
Saturday, August 23rd - Sunday, August 24th
Heartland Retreat Center - Parkville, MO
I’ve Been Meaning to Ask You…
Second's All-Church Retreat is a weekend retreat for the whole church family. Whether you have young kids at home, grown kids, or no kids at all – you’re invited. This weekend offers the gift of time away from the chaos of daily life and creates space for connection with ourselves, others, and God. Our hope is that everyone will to leave this retreat feeling seen, known, and loved in a way that helps to support the good work that takes place at Second throughout the year.
In the visioning sessions held earlier this year, one thing that continued to surface is a longing for deeper connection as a church family. And so, our theme this year is, “I’ve Been Meaning to Ask You…” Our time together will be organized around three small group sessions where you will have the chance to dive deep, getting to really know one another. While the schedule is not yet finalized, you can sneak a peek here and get a glimpse at the kind of weekend you can expect.
In 2023 the surgeon general declared loneliness an epidemic - we know deep down that we are not meant to go through life alone. 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 reminds us that we are one body of Christ, bound to each other, and so we hope you will join us for what’s sure to be our best retreat yet!
