2025 Annual Pastors’ Retreat

Registration is now open for the Annual Pastors’ Retreat on Monday, February 10th – Wednesday, February 12th at Serra Retreat Center in Malibu, CA. Registration closes January 24, 2025. Please remember that commissioned pastors and ministerial candidates are welcome.

We are pleased to announce our retreat speaker, the Rev. Dr. David Goatley, President of Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California. Dr. Goatley is a constructive theologian and globally recognized missiologist. His background in pastoral counseling, as well as his unique blend of expertise and ministry experience, will be a great blessing to our ministers of word and sacrament whether they are serving in congregations, new worshiping communities, or institutional settings. Having studied or worked in more than 35 countries, with major disciplines of theology, missiology, and the psychological sciences, Dr. Goatley brings insights to the gospel that transcends politics, denominations, and nations that will inspire and enlighten us all.

Rev. Dr. David Goatley

The Presbytery of Los Ranchos Pastors’ Retreat has always been an excellent opportunity for pastors to get away, recharge, and encourage each other. We do hope that all ministers of the Synod of Southern California and Hawaii will consider registering. Spaces fill up quickly, so please register now.

Thank you,
Pastor Retreat Leadership Team
