REST RETREAT 2026

We're excited to announce that REST Retreat is heading to Nashville, October 19–21, 2026!

REST is an invitation for worship leaders and pastors to step away from the demands of ministry and create space to be with God, yourself, and others. Over three intentional days, we'll slow down through worship, teaching, reflection, and authentic community, creating room to reconnect with what matters most.

Together with our incredible Worship Circle coaches, you'll experience meaningful conversations, powerful worship, and unhurried moments of rest and renewal. Whether you come on your own or with your team, REST is a place to be known, encouraged, and reminded that you are deeply loved and not alone.

If you're longing to be refreshed before returning to the people you faithfully serve, we'd love for you to join us in Nashville.

Dear Worship Leader,

The health of your life, your heart, and your song matters.

In a world that constantly pushes us toward more doing, more producing, and more striving, it can be easy to lose sight of the simple truth that God loves us apart from what we accomplish for Him. Many of us know what it's like to lead others while feeling tired, isolated, overwhelmed, or disconnected ourselves. That's why we created REST.

Whether you're running on empty, finding your footing again, or simply longing for a deeper connection with God and others, we'd love to invite you to join us in Nashville, Tennessee, October 19–21, 2026, for the Worship Circle REST Retreat.

REST is an opportunity to step away from the demands of ministry and create space to be present with God, yourself, and a community of worship leaders who understand the unique joys and challenges of this calling. Through worship, teaching, storytelling, prayer, and authentic conversation, our hope is that you'll leave refreshed, encouraged, and reminded that you are loved and not alone. Joining us will be our Worship Circle Coaches: Kristian Stanfill, Kalley Heiligenthal, Kristene DiMarco, Paul Baloche, Jill Phillips, Meredith Andrews, Andy Gullahorn, Christy Nockels, Jesse Reeves, Melodie Malone Desai, Charlie Hall, Mack Brock, Mark Harris, Mitch Wong, and myself.

One of the things that makes REST unique is its intimacy. We intentionally limit attendance so there is room for meaningful conversations, shared meals, deep relationships, and unhurried moments with both our coaches and fellow worship leaders.

Would you prayerfully consider being part of REST 2026? We can't wait to welcome you to Nashville.

With gratitude,
