2026 Women's Retreat

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—Fruitful—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. This year features Jen Oshman 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.
