Church of God by Faith remains committed to keeping our members as safe as possible at our retreats. We will follow county, state, and federal (CDC) COVID guidelines that are currently in place, along with additional significant safety protocols.

 

Vaccination Record: You must present a copy of your Vaccination Record Card to attend in-person retreats. The card must show you have been fully vaccinated.

 

COVID Test Record: The second option is to produce the results of your COVID test that was taken 5-days or less prior to the retreat start dates. The records must be submitted to the district retreat registration coordinator.

 

 

Finally, we recommend wearing masks as much as possible during indoor events because we will also be interacting with other resort guests.

 

 

 

 

As shown in the photo below, this retreat has brought the COGBF pastors and ministers together at every level in a relaxing setting. It is held annually (most often) at the Orange Lake Resort and Country Club in Kissimmee, FL This retreat provides fellowship in other ways such as pastoral training, recreation, prayer and daily meditation in God’s word.

 

The mission of this retreat was articulated by the late Bishop James E. McKnight, Sr. and confirmed by Presiding Bishop James E. McKnight, Jr. and the Executive Council. The goal is to retreat each year to regenerate COGBF pastors and ministers with rest in a relaxing environment and to enrich them with information to better serve their church.
