DON’T MISS THIS EXCITING EVENT TO EXPERIENCE
A WEEKEND OF SPIRITUAL RENEWAL
Dr. Brian L. Powell serves as the District Superintendent of the Kentucky District. He is passionate about training pastors and leaders for service in the church and believes that God’s call on his life is to cultivate and sustain a culture of renewal, discipleship, and mission as it relates to the church.
The Chosen Ones feature three generations of smooth family harmony, blending traditional and progressive Southern Gospel with light Contemporary Christian music. Their unique approach to Gospel Music appeals to a diverse audience.
Lay retreat is for all adults, singles as well as couples, that are 18 years of age and out of high school. No children/teens are allowed EXCEPT babies who are nursing.
