Fall Retreat 

October 3-5, 2025
Heartland Conference and Retreat Center
​Marengo, Ohio

CLICK TO REGISTER

At Fall Retreat, we’ll explore real questions—not just with our minds, but in conversation with Jesus Himself. Together, we’ll lean into what our questions reveal about our deep desire to know and trust God. Whether you’re exploring faith or looking to grow as a Christian, we believe God will meet you there—bringing clarity, growth, and a deeper ability to engage with these meaningful questions.

If you need a scholarship, talk to your staff!
