85% of Pastors Have Never Taken a Sabbatical
Investing in pastors is one of the most significant things we can do to support the local church.
When our leaders lose hope, perspective, or passion— our churches can become unfruitful, adrift, and fail to be the light to a lost world as God intended.
Stillwater Reserve provides the opportunity for pastors to get away.
After just a few intentional days, pastors regain perspective, hope, and connection with God as they experience rest and fellowship. They return to their church a stronger shepherd, refreshed and rejuvenated to carry on in their calling.

However, we understand that many churches may not have the budget, and we happily offer these retreats free of charge.
