Who Is PK Retreat For?
PK Retreat is for pastors’ kids ages 13–18, including high school students and those taking a victory lap.
What Is PK Retreat?
PK Retreat is a space created just for pastors’ kids, recognizing the unique blessings and pressures that come with growing up in a ministry family.
PKs often carry extra expectations, spend more time at church than most, and feel pressure to act or believe a certain way. This retreat gives them room to breathe, be themselves, and grow a genuine, personal faith in Jesus.
At PK Retreat, students will find:
A safe community of peers who understand
Freedom to be real—no masks or expectations
Encouragement to discover who God made them to be
Honest stories and practical tools for life in ministry
Meaningful friendships and spiritual growth
PK Retreat is an opportunity for pastors’ kids to be supported, encouraged, and reminded that they’re not alone.
Give your pastors’ kids an experience designed just for them.
send them to PK Retreat!
