Retreats
Fellows attend retreats throughout the year. This includes an opening retreat, a Micah 6:8 Retreat, a biblical calling retreat, silent and prayer retreat, women's and men's retreats, and the Annual Fellows Initiative National Conference. The year ends with the closing retreat.
Micah 6:8 Retreat
Each fall, The Fellows Initiative (TFI) gathers all the Fellows programs from around the country together for a teaching retreat. The topic of this special event is the intersection and application of justice and mercy. Each Fellows program will explore these ideas together while enjoying the company of the fellows community!
“He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” (Micah 6:8)
Vocational Discernment Retreat
In the winter, the southeastern Fellows programs will gather together for a Vocational Discernment Retreat. They will have the chance to take a Highlands Battery test to learn about their own abilities and gifts, hear from a Christian speaker about work and faith, and enjoy time together with friends at the beach!
Nashville Retreat
In the spring, the Tennessee Fellows Programs will gather together in Nashville. They will get to visit the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, take a tour of the Capitol, sit in on a council meeting, and explore the city!
Retreats in memphis
Throughout the program, there will be many retreats that Fellows get to go on with just their own class. These retreats are a great time for the class to spend intentional time together.
The Opening Retreat is a time of bonding and getting to know one another for the first time.
The Prayer and Silent Retreat is a time of reflecting and spending intentional time with the Lord alongside each other.
The Mission Memphis retreat is a time of serving the city in various ways.
The Closing Retreat is a time of reflection and thanksgiving over the past year together.
There’s nothing like missing a day of work for a retreat!
