Shepherds’ Gathering

The Shepherds’ Gathering at Cross Roads is a retreat created especially for clergy and lay leaders who work with children, youth, and young adults in their faith communities. This gathering offers dedicated time to step away from daily ministry demands and connect with others who share a passion for guiding the next generation in faith.

Participants are invited into a supportive environment for conversation, collaboration, and renewal. Through shared discussion and reflection, leaders explore ways to strengthen faith formation, exchange ideas and resources, and navigate the opportunities and challenges of ministry today. The retreat encourages open dialogue, creative thinking, and mutual encouragement among those serving in congregational leadership roles.

Set within the peaceful surroundings of Cross Roads, the Shepherds’ Gathering provides space to rest, reconnect with purpose, and return to ministry refreshed and inspired by a community of fellow leaders.
