Why it Matters
Life moves fast and leaves us spiritually fragmented. Even when we love God, the noise and pace of modern life distract us away from his presence. It shouldn’t be normal for Christians to be shaped more by culture than by Christ. You were made to be deeply formed by God’s love — to live from it, and to reflect it in the everyday.
A Simple, Guided Path Back to God's Presence
- Step Away
Set aside six days to rest from hurry and distraction, making space for awareness and renewal. - Learn & Practice
Engage Scripture, stillness, and guided practices that open you to God’s transforming grace. - Reflect & Discern
Notice how God has been shaping your story and listen for his invitations in this season. - Chart a Path Forward
Leave with a simple Rule of Life to continue seeking and responding to God in everyday life.
You won’t be overwhelmed. Every practice is guided and accessible. You won’t walk alone.
What You'll Experience
Each day follows a similar rhythm designed to help you become more present to Presence:
- Morning Rooting — Scripture, prayer, and teaching that center your heart in Christ.
- Afternoon Tending — Reflective practices and journaling that deepen awareness of God’s work.
- Evening Gathering — Shared stories, worship, and reflection in community.
- Night Stillness — Resting quietly in the God who watches over you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Abide Week is designed for adults who regularly attend an Apostolic Christian Church and desire to live more deeply rooted in Christ in everyday life.
This experience is especially meaningful for those who are longing for unhurried space with God, are open to Scripture, prayer, and reflection, and want formation that flows into ordinary faithfulness rather than dramatic change.
You do not need prior experience with Abide events or spiritual disciplines to participate.
Each day follows a simple and intentional rhythm.
Mornings typically include Scripture, teaching, and guided practices. Afternoons offer space for reflection, journaling, rest, and personal prayer. Evenings gather the community for shared prayer, conversation, and worship.
There is built-in margin throughout the day, and the pace is intentionally slower than everyday life.
Registration includes lodging, meals, and all program materials for the duration of Abide Week.
Meals are shared together and are part of the communal rhythm of the experience. You will not need to bring any additional resources beyond what is noted in the preparation email sent prior to arrival.
The standard cost for Abide Week is $895. This covers lodging, meals, program materials, and leadership for the full six-day experience.
