About
For all who have entered into God’s rest have rested from their labours, just as God did.” Hebrews 4:10
Our Mission
Bethany’s mission is to provide a place of retreat for rest, reflection, and restoration for Christian workers. In scripture Jesus withdrew from the demands of His hectic life to rest and pray. We too should take a break from our work, whatever that is.
To encourage the rest that Jesus demonstrated, we offer an intentional place to step into retreat and communion with God. We welcome all church denomination members and take special emphasis in caring for those who are engaged in full-time ministry.
Your Retreat Experience
Bethany offers warm hospitality and comfortable spaces to encourage rest and renewal for all our guests–our Bethany Friends. Whether you are on a personal, family, or church group retreat, there is something for everyone to encourage sabbath rest. Our Ministry Team are here to serve you! With every retreat stay we serve a basic breakfast and a lovely dinner (and/or lunch) to share together. Simply tell us about any of your dietary needs or allergies, and we will have your dinner ready for you! Our freshly cooked meals and desserts are made of a variety of styles and tastes, but are mostly western style.
We are always finding ways to support our guests retreat time. Here is a list of resources and supplies we offer. Just know that simply relaxing in our comfortable homes or enjoying the nearby beach and walking trails, is a great way to have your retreat too.
