Get away for a few days and join us at the Semiahmoo Resort & Spa in Blaine, Washington for our annual Clergy Retreat and Conference, April 28 – May 1. Take advantage of the many workshop offerings, enjoy retreat time exploring the environs of this waterfront resort, or a little of both. Conference is open to clergy and their families.

Some scholarships are available, however, we are asking that you make every effort to have your congregation pay this very minimal fee. We have greatly subsidized this conference so that the cost to you and your congregations can be kept low. Please contact Bishop Rickel at grickel@ecww.org to make a request.
