But on this one, I will look:
on him who is poor and of a contrite spirit,
and who trembles at My Word.
Isaiah 66:2b
Friday, April 28 – Sunday, April 30, 2023
St. Stephen’s Conference and Retreat Center
Titusville, Florida
What is it like to dwell, without interruption, in the Kingdom and presence of God? It is the prayer and desire of the Temple Church Chaplain Team that this fellowship gathering is not just a long, two-day sermon. It is, indeed, far more! Our vision is that we will experience a significantly deeper, transformative encounter with our living God.
Anytime believers gather together for the pure worship and praise of our Lord God, the extraordinary slice of life and true insight into what heaven will be like returns each and every time.
We invite you to join us! Take a break from a clamorous and unspiritual outside world for a weekend full of God’s word and fellowship with your fellow Templars.
Whether you are a veteran of multiple retreats or this is your first one, this spiritual event promises to be an unforgettable and life-enhancing experience. The weekend is balanced between insight from the Word led by our Chaplain team, personal quiet time and introspection, and Christian Templar fellowship infused with deeply moving and carefully selected, contemplative music.
For truly, as Knights and Dames of the ultimate Kingdom,
there is NO GREATER HONOR than LIVING THE TEMPLAR LIFE EACH DAY.
