Meet the Retreat Dream Team

Flourish Retreats would not happen without these amazing ladies! They are all passionately pursuing Jesus and deeply desire to share Him with those around them. Allow us to introduce you to the ladies of the Retreat Dream Team, in their own words!

This, clearly unedited, picture of the Dream Team will have to do until we actually remember to take a better one! Please enjoy our photo editing abilities. 🤣

Misty

I’ve been married to my wonderful husband for 25 years, and together we are the proud parents of two grown children. Though I grew up knowing about God, it wasn’t until I personally experienced His grace that my faith truly came alive and began to transform my life. I strive to follow Matthew 22:36-40 and love Him with all my heart, soul and mind. This sparked a deep passion in me to help other women grow in a real, authentic relationship with Him by discipleship one-on-one and in small groups.  

My husband and I love holding house church and walking alongside couples as we encourage them to build marriages that reflect the love of Christ. 

I also serve with Cultivating Holy Beauty, a women’s discipleship ministry, where it brings me joy to come alongside women, cheer them on, and help them embrace the freedom and fullness found in Jesus. 

Anna

I’m a devoted follower of the Lord with a heart for uplifting and encouraging women. I believe fully in the power of prayer and strive to bring hope, encouragement, and joy to those around me. I’m blessed to be married and a mother of three wonderful children.

Kay

I am a widow with two grown sons and 11 grandchildren.  I retired from teaching children with learning differences, 5 years ago, but still do some reading tutoring each week. 

I enjoy Bible study, gardening, reading, cross-stitch, baking, and quilting. 

My heart is warmed by making connections with other women, strengthening and encouraging them in their faith and urging them to stand firm when troubles come. I co-facilitate a Women’s Bible Study and participate in a care group and Sunday School class each week.

Lindy

I’ve been happily married to my sweetheart for 21 years, and together we have four amazing, rambunctious boys who keep life full of laughter and adventure. As a former nurse, my heart has always been to care for people, and now I get to live that out in a new way—discipling women, hosting our house church, and ministering to couples.

I am passionate about walking alongside women as they grow in their faith, encouraging them to experience God’s love in practical, everyday ways. There’s nothing I love more than seeing hearts transformed by His grace and helping others step into the life He has for them.

Carolyn

As a Believer of many years, I love the Lord, cherish His Word, and strive to be close to Him. Working in women’s ministry brings me great joy, along with fellowship & learning from other ladies. I have facilitated many Bible studies, & lead one now at our church.

My husband & I have been married 51 years, and have 3 adult children, 11 grandchildren, and 2 greats! God has surely blessed us.

In addition to raising our children, I taught school, & presently teach Life Skills at a Co-op for homeschoolers. 

I love to travel, read, & knit.

Brooke

The precious lady above me is my mamma!

This team has been hand picked by God and is a group of Spirit filled, Jesus loving, ‘been through the fire and the crushing and watched God redeem it all’, group of ladies! I feel incredibly blessed to get to serve with them - this ministry is better because of each of these precious women!
