Shepherd’s Canyon provides restoration and refreshment for worn-down, hurting church workers and their spouses. Because of the nature of our mission, no one is ever turned away for financial reasons.

​​

While our guests are not billed, our ministry does incur substantial costs to offer this week of individualized care. Each retreat involves licensed counseling, lodging, meals, and hospitality—an investment that often exceeds $10,000 per guest. These costs are covered entirely through the generosity of donors, supporting congregations, and grants from individuals and organizations who believe in this ministry of healing.

 

If you, your church, denomination, or others are able to assist with the part of our cost of a retreat, a suggested contribution is $5,000 per individual and $6,000 per couple, but this is not required.

​

Some participants, deeply blessed by their experience, later choose to become donors themselves so others may receive the same care.

​​​

If you know of community foundations, family endowments, or granting organizations who might resonate with our mission, please feel free to encourage their support of this ministry.
