Mt. Gilead Bible Camp Invites Women to Renew Their Faith at the 2025 Annual Retreat

eTradeWire News/10802286
Mt. Gilead Bible Camp invites women of all ages to its 2025 Christian women's retreat in Sonoma County, California—featuring keynote speaker Sharon Sands, powerful worship, creative workshops, fellowship, and rest beneath the redwoods.

SEBASTOPOL, Calif. - eTradeWire -- SEBASTOPOL, Calif. —
Each spring, women from across California gather beneath the redwoods of Sonoma County for a weekend filled with worship, encouragement, and authentic fellowship.

Hosted by Mt. Gilead Bible Camp, the Annual Women's Retreat is an invitation to step away from daily demands and enter into the peaceful, faithful presence of God. Women of all ages are welcome to join this powerful gathering centered on connection, reflection, and spiritual renewal.

This year's theme, "Even If," is drawn from the deeply moving words of Habakkuk 3:17–18 — a reminder that even when life feels uncertain, God's goodness never changes. Whether you are in a season of abundance or waiting, this weekend is a place to rest, worship, and remember that the Lord is faithful in every circumstance.

Sharon Sands will serve as the keynote speaker for 2025, bringing over 30 years of ministry experience marked by grace, authenticity, and enduring faith. The retreat will begin with a special pre-conference session led by Dawn Gould, a trusted voice at Mt. Gilead, who will guide women into quiet reflection before the main weekend begins.

Worship will be led by a faithful team of musicians including Mickie Cazet, Makenna Overzet, and Sandi King — each known for their heart for Scripture and their love for leading others in song.

Alongside the sessions, women will enjoy relaxing outdoor activities including pickleball, archery, and guided mosaic art workshops. Shared meals, laughter, and quiet coffee conversations beneath the redwoods often become the moments that speak most deeply to the heart.

Since 1963, Mt. Gilead Bible Camp has been a place of rest, growth, and belonging for thousands across Northern California. Located just minutes from Sebastopol and within reach of Santa Rosa, Petaluma, and the Bay Area, Mt. Gilead offers a peaceful setting to encounter Christ and reconnect with others.

We warmly invite you to attend this year's retreat. Come as you are. Discover rest, friendship, and fresh hope in the God who remains good — even if.

    I recently spent a weekend at Mt. Gilead for a church retreat and it ended up being exactly what I needed. The setting is peaceful and surrounded by redwoods, which made it easy to step away from everyday distractions. We had plenty of space for group worship, time alone with God, and just enjoying one another's company. The dining staff was kind, the cabins were comfortable, and the outdoor areas made the whole experience feel really special. I noticed a few other groups on-site doing leadership retreats and team building while we were there. There's a lot available, from the zip line and trails to quiet spots for reflection. If your church or ministry is looking for a Christian retreat center in Sonoma County, Mt. Gilead offers a great balance of rest, recreation, and community. It's a short drive from Santa Rosa but feels tucked away. I'm already looking forward to going back with our group next year.

    I visited Mt. Gilead for the first time during a church retreat and was honestly blown away by how peaceful and welcoming it felt. The redwoods, the quiet trails, even the outdoor meeting spaces gave us room to really slow down and connect. We had great sessions in the chapel, shared meals in the dining hall, and stayed up talking around the firepits. It was the kind of weekend that helps you remember what matters. There were groups doing leadership training while we were there and even a team using the zip line and climbing wall for team building. It was cool to see how many types of retreats this place can host. If your church or ministry is looking for a Christian retreat center in Northern California with overnight lodging, outdoor recreation, and space for worship or workshops, Mt. Gilead is worth checking out. It's close to Santa Rosa and Sebastopol and feels like a true getaway without being far. We're already planning to come back next year.

    A few women from my church went to Mt. Gilead's retreat last year and could not stop talking about how special it was. I'm so glad they're offering it again in 2025. The setting in Sonoma County is gorgeous, surrounded by redwoods and close to Santa Rosa, which makes it feel like a true escape without being far. I've been looking for a Christian women's retreat in California that offers both quiet time with God and real community, and this seems to have the perfect mix. The worship team, the outdoor activities, and the focus on Scripture all sound so life-giving. I love that it's open to women in all stages of life. The theme "Having an 'Even If' Faith" is such a timely message too. If you're searching for a Christ-centered women's retreat in Northern California, Mt. Gilead Bible Camp should definitely be on your list. Just Google "Mt. Gilead Bible Camp & Conference Center 2025 Women's Retreat" or check their Facebook page to learn more. Hope to go this year!
