Fall Women's Retreat

You are invited to come away to Olmsted this fall and immerse yourself in rich study and seeking with a cohort of other powerful Christian women. Olmsted's women's retreats offer inspirational speaking, encouraging group discussions, quiet time with God, opportunities to enjoy stillness and nature, and Christian hospitality that will make you feel welcome and cared for. Come and attend to your mental, emotional, and spiritual health.

Heavenly Minded - Earthly Good

Sometimes life can get so full of “stuff” that we lose our way. We forget what is really important and the great call our Savior has put on our life. The clutter of life and things consume our thoughts and our time. Come, retreat with us, and take this time away from the earthly “stuff” to get a more heavenly perspective. Our speaker, Christine Zimmerman, will share how the Lord helped her in this journey and give you hope and courage to take the steps needed to move forward unencumbered in mission and ministry.

Christine is a teacher at heart. She has taught in many settings from working with teachers at the University of Pittsburgh to the public-school setting. She now uses her teaching abilities in new ways with the About Face Church Outreach Consultants ministry started by her and her husband, John. Christine is the heart of the ministry as she is often found mentoring individuals out of the poverty of addictions and abuse. She speaks, teaches, mentors and leads workshops that illuminate Scripture and engages the student with practical hope and real-life examples. She puts flesh upon the spiritual principles of mission and outreach that motivates the church into action. Christine enjoys camping, spending time with her husband, four boys, three daughters-in-law, and four granddaughters and sharing the love of Jesus with all whom she meets.
