I’ve always wanted to take a group off campus for a retreat, or mission trip, but need some help planning.
Are you, as a minister, feeling overwhelmed and burned out?
How we can help
We understand how difficult running a church and ministry can be. We want to help take the burden off your shoulders and help guide and support your adult, or youth ministry. Whether you’re a priest in need of taking some weight off your shoulders, a youth minister needing coaching, or an adult minister in need of some new ideas and programming, we’re here to help.
Most, if not all professional industries have coaches and mentors who guide and help their employees succeed and reach goals. Most priests have spiritual advisors and mentors as well. Why would adult and youth ministry be treated any differently? We are passionate about our church and the people guiding it. We want to help build the Catholic Church from the inside out.
Sometimes we expect our ministers to read their job descriptions and expect great things to happen. What we’ve learned is that most ministry positions get very little training or coaching. That is where we can step in and help. We have over a decade of ministry experience with everything from being mentored, running small groups, leading large mission trips, coordinating volunteers, service projects, retreats for all ages, strategies for getting adults and students to show up for events, fundraising, personal growth, and so much more.
Our children are the future! Junior and senior high students need so much love and support these days. We want to help you create a catholic, fun, safe place for our kids to grow and learn about our beautiful faith. There are too many outdated youth ministries that don’t meet the needs of our kids. Let us help you create new inventive ways to meet the needs of Gen Z and Alpha.
We understand that parishes may not budget for coaching and mentorship. We are happy to set up a payment plan to meet whatever needs your parish might have. Don’t hesitate to reach out for a free consultation today!

Youth Minister Retreat
This ministry is a calling from God! And, youth ministry can be hard! Everyone needs time to recharge and refocus on the most important aspect of youth ministry. You can’t give what you don’t have. Ultimately, we must remember that Jesus is at the center of everything we do.
Join fellow youth ministers in prayer, conversation, and sharing the joys and struggles that youth ministers deal with on a daily, monthly, and yearly basis. Learn about mindset, daily prayer, your personal relationship with Christ, and the energy it takes to become the best youth minister for your students.

Planning Retreats (Day or Overnight)
Have you ever wanted to run a retreat, lock-in, or mission trip? We want to work alongside you to help make your goals a reality. No two retreats are the same! With hundreds of retreats attended and worked, let our team help you design and execute your plan.
We will work alongside the youth minister and their team to create the optimal retreat experience that best suits your students. We will discuss all aspects of the retreat experience with themes, budgeting, interactive talks, rentals, small groups, activities, music, prayer, and more. This can include a one-day retreat or overnight retreat, up to five nights in a row.
We will have two in-person meetings at a minimum: one at the beginning (4 months out) and one right before the retreat (2 weeks out). We will also have weekly, one-hour Zoom meetings (12-14 meetings) leading up to the retreat. We are happy to accommodate more in-person meetings if the parish would like. Our company will need at least a five-month notice before we create a customized retreat that suits your parish best.
$40 an hour for Zoom meetings
$65 an hour for in-person meetings (does not include travel and lodging expenses)
1-on-1 Coaching Sessions
Youth ministers don’t typically have a place to turn when stuck with an idea or problem inside their own youth ministry. Have our expert youth ministry coach help guide your youth minister to be at his/her best! Mindset, prayer life, interacting and teaching students, speaking to parents and students, recruiting, creativity, retreats, service, up to date planning and action items each time we meet alongside calendaring are just a few items the coach and minister will constantly speak about. We will also give our expert advice on ways to get in front of students, ways to keep students excited about your ministry, and connecting on a personal level with students.

Adult Ministers Retreat
Are you feeling tension, stress, or getting to the point of burnout? It’s not a secret that everyone needs time to recharge, refresh, and refocus on the most important aspect of ministry, which is Jesus Christ.

This retreat is specifically designed to help take some burden off your shoulders. Come get back to the heart of why you entered ministry in the first place. Come pray, learn, and discuss with other ministry leaders, and be renewed to begin again!
