2024 Spring Retreat

Barnabas Landing, Keats Island April 12-14

Join us for an unforgettable weekend

Our 1st Annual City Collective Retreat is taking us to beautiful Barnabas Landing. Arrive by boat, leaving the busyness of daily life behind you. After a warm welcome, find your comfortable ensuite accommodation. Take time to walk around the beautiful property, and enjoy the expansive views across the Howe Sound to the islands and mountains, as we gather together.

We pray it will nurture marriages, families, and friendships in spaces of rest, fun, and connection as a church.
