Georgia Baptist Women
Women on Mission Series: A Weekend Retreat for Women of All Ages
September 12–13, 2025
Pinnacle Retreat Center
200 Adventure Lane, Clayton, GA
Theme: Joy in His Presence
Theme Verse: “You reveal the path of life to me; in Your presence is abundant joy; at Your right hand are eternal pleasures.” — Psalm 16:11
A Joy-Filled Invitation
God wants us to experience abundant joy as we journey along the path He has called each of us to walk. He wants us to take time with Him, nurturing our relationship with Him that will then spill out joy in our relationships with others. We know this, but special time in the Lord’s presence can be hard to come by, and it seems there are so many distractions that rob us of our joy.
You are invited to take some time away with the Lord and like-minded women to rekindle the joy He offers. At the Women on Mission Series, you’ll have an opportunity to laugh and play with other Georgia Baptist Women, worship the Lord together, meditate on His word, and have special prayer time. You will not just have a mountain-top experience, but you will also be equipped with ways to combat those things that try to steal your joy when you get back home into daily life. You’ll be filled to overflow that joy into others in your family and community.
Highlights
- Be encouraged as you study God’s Word in the beautiful North Georgia mountains
- Relax and enjoy joyful laughter and connection with other women
- Learn practical ways to combat stress and protect your joy
- Experience guided personal reflection and Spirit-led prayer
- Return home refreshed and ready to pour into others
