Women's Retreat

April 12 -14, 2024

Chattanooga Convention Center



Join us for an unforgettable weekend away in downtown Chattanooga. You won’t want to miss out on this refreshing, fun, and purposeful opportunity to reflect on our theme of God Alone and connect with other women from Perimeter. With a relaxed schedule, there is plenty of time for fellowship, fun, prayer, rest, or exploring all Chattanooga has to offer.

We are so excited that this year we have Courtney Doctor and Kelly Kapic as our speakers, and our own Laura Story Elvington leading worship. We hope you can come away with us and be refreshed together.

Nursing moms are welcome with infants up to six months.
