Unstoppable Young Women's Retreat

Unstoppable is an opportunity for young women to practice self-reflection, engage with their communities, and improve their leadership skills. This year's theme, "Developing an Outward Mindset," encourages young women to see how they are able to engage the world around them. Participants will discuss what it means to have an “outward mindset” in their individual contexts and imagine how such a mindset can make a lasting impact. This retreat includes time to reflect, relax, and engage with other young Christian women. On Sunday, participants will work with the Ruth M. Smith Center, a local National Mission Institution, to help prepare their facility for further ministry.

Rev. Dr. Renee Mikell spent 16 years in the worlds of business and government, including Time-Warner, Turner Broadcasting, and the Department of Homeland      Security. When God placed a call to ministry on her heart, Renee returned home to WPA to attend seminary. An ordained elder in the UMC who has served as a pastor in a variety of districts, she now serves as Assistant to Bishop Cynthia Moore Koikoi in the WPA Annual Conference. “In my ministry, I’ve always sought to strengthen the local church through outreach, preaching, discipleship practices, spiritual growth, and fostering an inclusive awareness of God’s kingdom at work among all people,” Renee says.
A proud parent of two sons, Renee is delighted by grandparenting and other intergenerational experiences. She enjoys music, travel, reading, shopping, and loves taking trips to the beach.  

At Unstoppable, we share our passions, hopes, and visions. We listen to and learn from one another and grow together.
