WHAT is the Rostered Minister Spouse Retreat? This retreat is an opportunity to be with other people, men and women, who are married to or used to be married to Rostered Ministers in the Northwest or Southwest Minnesota Synods. These people are the warmest, most welcoming group of friends you will ever meet! They have a unique knowledge of what it is like being married to a rostered person in the ELCA (pastors, deacons or SAMs). This year we will learn, create, serve, pray, move and play together in many ways while enjoying each other’s company. Planning is in the works, but so far we will do a service project for a local organization, do a creative craft/art project, learn how to make sushi and tempura, and have meaningful worship and visiting time! Come to relax and play at the beautiful location of Luther Crest Bible Camp.

  • WHO should attend? If you are currently married to a Pastor, Deacon or a Synodically Authorized Minister, or if you are a widow or widower of one of those people, or if you are one (or both) part(s) of a rostered minister coupleyou are absolutely welcome and encouraged to attend!

WHY to attend the Retreat: This event has been going for decades! It is a self-planned retreat and it is different every year. We always have new people join us. You will not find a more welcoming and supportive group of people to spend a weekend with. Come to relax, eat, and worship together, plus maybe learn something new! Here are some highlights:

● The beautiful location of Luther Crest Bible Camp

● A fun and relaxed schedule with wonderful activities!

● Great conversations with good food and snacks!

● Meaningful worship services with great music!

● Laughter and MORE laughter!
