Women's Retreat
October 7 - 9
Mt. Hermon Christian Conference Center
It’s that time of year when we look forward to deep breaths of fresh mountain air, quality time with other women, and solid teaching from the Bible. Join us for our annual weekend away at beautiful Mt. Hermon in Santa Cruz, only 90 minutes from NorthCreek!
Our theme this year is “By Faith”. Katie Willis, Katie Cummings, Lynn Ralston, and Stephanie Cranmer will be taking a closer look at some of the people we find listed in Hebrews 11 and consider what it looks like to live a Christ-centered life by faith.
For any questions, you can email
We hope you can join us.
