ECC Women's Fall Retreat
October 16-18, 2026
Registration closes October 8, 2026
“Leading Like Lydia” Acts 16
Join us for a weekend of worship, teaching, and fellowship as we explore the life of Lydia in Acts 16. Through her story, we'll discover what it means to position ourselves to encounter God, be attentive to the Holy Spirit's leading, respond in faithful obedience, and use the gifts He has entrusted to us for His glory. Whether you're seeking encouragement, renewal, or a deeper walk with Christ, this retreat is an opportunity to grow in faith alongside other women as we learn to lead with open hearts and willing hands.
Please note: Full payment is due at the time of registration. Refunds will be issued less a $50 non-refundable deposit for cancellations made more than one week out from the start of the retreat. No refund will be issued for cancellations made within one week of the start of the retreat.
