Retreat Track

Life is so busy that often times a husband and wife can feel like ships passing in the night. The brief conversations we have are filled up with the busyness of managing the home and family. Couples need time to talk through the most important parts of their marriage together. The Marriage Retreat track carves out time around the Conference to have concentrated and guided discussions to deepen your understanding and application of the important principles you are learning at the conference. Couples in the Retreat will have focused time with each other and our staff to deepen their joy in marriage. It’s our prayer that you would leave this Retreat refreshed and committed to Reclaiming the Beauty of Marriage.

The retreat track is reserved for married couples. First Baptist Church believes that God creates people in his image as either male or female, and that this creation is a fixed matter of human biology, not individual choice. We believe marriage is instituted by God, not government, is between one man and one woman, and is the only context for sexual desire and expression.
