— ELK RIDGE RETREAT —

A Sacred Respite for the Spiritual Leader.

Lay aside the weight of the mantle. Elk Ridge is a multi-acre sanctuary dedicated to the physical, emotional, and spiritual restoration of those who lead. Provided as a donor-funded gift, these retreats offer a cost-free harbor for ministerial recovery.

The Wisdom of Restoration.

The demands of ministry can often outpace the human heart. The toll of constant service is undeniable, but it is not meant to be carried indefinitely. At Elk Ridge, we provide the intentional setting where restoration becomes inevitable. We offer the sanctuary required to move from the noise of the mission to the clarity of the soul, nestled within the high vistas and quiet beauty of our Texas Hill Country retreat.

The Architecture of Restoration

From our 3-day intensives to our 4-day immersions, every moment at Elk Ridge is built upon three non-negotiable pillars of healing. To ensure you can focus entirely on renewal, these experiences are fully donor-funded and offered at no cost to those in ministerial leadership.

Absolute Discretion.
No Exceptions.

For a leader, safety is found in the freedom to be heard without the fear of exposure or the weight of public judgment. Everything shared at Elk Ridge is strictly confidential.

We provide a non-judgmental harbor where you can be honest without fear, allowing you to process your journey with mentors who have walked the path before you.
