New Heights Ministries

New Heights Ministries was formed in 2012 with the purpose to host retreats for people to get away and connect with God and each other. We wanted the rate to be much less than full price so that cost was never a hindrance for people to come.

We have hosted over 25 weekends over the last 7 years. The retreats aren’t all be the same but all have becoming more like Jesus each other at the center. The gatherings are designed to have fun, intention, margin, recreation and room for relationships to deepen and life changing encounters to occur.

Jesus taught us much about how to live life by how he spent his time. If there’s anyone who had an excuse to be busy, it was Him. Yet he never seemed to be in a hurry but lived in regular rhythms with God and people. We create weekends to model and experience these rhythms of Jesus in a way you’ll want to continue when you leave.
