Join us for The Garden of Your Heart, a retreat designed to help women encounter Christ in the midst of their stories and discover the beauty He is cultivating within them. Through prayer, reflection, inspiring presentations, workshops, and fellowship, we will journey through three biblical gardens that reveal God’s work in every heart.
“Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.” Luke 12:27
The LOTV retreat was such a lovely experience that spoke to the core of women of all ages. Understanding God’s plan for me through this retreat was a big take-away, and every purposeful detail made me feel special, well cared-for, and uplifted. – LOTV Retreat Participant, 2025
