Retreat Info

Ready for a break? Need some rest? Could hitting the pause button & unplugging be a benefit to you?

Our retreats offer pastors, church planters & ministry leaders the opportunity to catch their breath, while experiencing first-class hospitality in an amazing lakefront setting.

You’re invited to join us for a 4 day, 3 night retreat at an incredible waterfront home on Lake Tawakoni in East Texas. Our retreats feature great food, a relaxing atmosphere and lots of options for fun. Whether we’re fishing for trophy fish, riding jet skis, sitting around a campfire or just relaxing on the pontoon boat, this is an experience you won’t want to miss.

Your calling is to serve others. Our calling is to serve you. Rested leaders are healthy leaders. And healthy churches can only be led by healthy leaders. Sign up today for one of our free retreats and allow us to give you the chance to catch your breath.

What They are Saying

  • Henry Batson

    "Seldom do people really understand the concept of retreat. It’s usually attached with classes and sessions and teachings. But I’m so glad Nic and his team at the Revive Initiative get it. THEY GET IT!!!
    It’s a legit refreshing experience. I can’t wait to go back!"

  • Laura Tarro

    "I highly recommend the pastors' retreat. Our retreat was like summer camp for pastors with jet skiing, fishing, kayaking, ax throwing, lounging, campfires, good food, good conversation, and good friends. The focus of our time was on rest and refreshment. We were encouraged to slow down and breathe.“

  • Cody Woodlee

    “When I was going through one of the hardest times in my life, I made a trip to Revive. During that retreat, God worked in my life through the other pastors & helped me move forward and heal. Revive is the retreat every pastor hopes for but doesn’t know existed. Forever thankful for this team!”
