September 18-19, 2026 | Pinnacle Retreat Center
A weekend retreat for women of all ages
Philippians 1:27
“Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel.”
We’re commanded to walk in a manner worthy of the gospel, but what does it look like to follow Jesus wholeheartedly? How do we stand firm in the Spirit as an individual while also striving side-by-side with other believers? We know the Lord requires single-minded devotion. We long to obey from a pure heart, but often the cares of this world or lesser things distract us from this singular pursuit.
You are invited to take some time away with the Lord and like-minded women to refocus on His calling to a singular pursuit. At the Women on Mission Retreat, you’ll have an opportunity to laugh and play with other Georgia Baptist Women, worship the Lord together, meditate on Scripture, and dive deep into the truth of His Word. You will not just have a mountain-top experience, but you will also be equipped to stand firm, strive together, and walk in a manner worthy of the gospel when you get back home into daily life.
