What We Offer

| MARRIAGE COURSES

In a world where marriages are under attack and often torn apart, we want to offer hope.

We offer a series of courses designed to help couples grow closer to God and develop a deeper, more fulfilling relationship with each other—through understanding.

By exploring why we do the things we hate, why forgiveness can be so difficult, and what covenant truly means, our goal is to help bring restoration to relationships.

| SINGLES GUYS MENTORING

This is a 2–5 day program specifically designed for men ages 17 and older who are struggling to find their identity and purpose in life or seeking freedom from addiction.

We’re here to listen to your story—offering understanding, compassion, and the hope of healing through Jesus.

Our desire is to give men a fresh start and walk with them through forgiveness toward victory in Christ.

| PREMARITAL MENTORING

For those standing on the threshold of a new beginning—Marriage!

We celebrate with you the joy of this exciting step in your life.

With marriage comes commitment, and we want to help you prepare by exploring the covenant of marriage. Together, we’ll work to identify and address any past hurts that may interfere with your relationship with God and with each other—so you can step into marriage the way God intended it: whole, united, and full of hope.

| TRANSFORMING STORIES

Transforming Stories is a weekend ladies’ retreat hosted by Mary Yoder at Pilgrim Hills. Women ages 15 and up are warmly invited to attend and participate.

Each woman will create a “story rope”—a unique and meaningful way to visualize her life journey, highlighting joyful moments, times of sorrow, seasons of struggle, and the voice of God in each part of the story. The retreat also includes opportunities for group discussion, personal reflection, and prayer.

It’s a powerful and refreshing weekend—perfect for individuals or groups seeking connection, healing, and encouragement.

| FATHER & SON BLESSING DAYS

Born out of a desire to restore and strengthen the bond between fathers and sons, this Father & Son Weekend Retreatinvites you on a journey to more deeply understand the significance of a father’s blessing.

Through teaching, reflection, and shared experiences, fathers will explore the power of blessing in their own lives—and how to intentionally pass that blessing on to their sons, following the biblical example of Abraham and his descendants.

In addition to meaningful connection, the weekend also includes plenty of outdoor camping fun and quality time together.
