A Gathering Designed to Refresh the Whole Person
The Refreshing Summit 2027 is an extension of the vision of The Refreshing - a ministry expression intentionally centered on spiritual renewal, emotional wellness, biblical truth, worship, meaningful conversation, and authentic community.
The Refreshing began in 2020 as a weekly prayer call and later expanded into devotional resources and podcasting, all with the goal of ministering to the whole person through spiritual truth and practical encouragement.
The Summit brings that vision into a live, immersive environment where attendees can worship, engage in meaningful dialogue, connect with others, and receive practical insight designed to refresh four key areas of life: Ministry. Mind. Marketplace. Money.
WORSHIP. CONVERSATION. COMMUNITY. WHOLENESS. PURSUIT.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT
WORSHIP ENCOUNTER
A powerful evening of worship and ministry designed to create space for attendees to experience the presence of God in an authentic and intentional way. The Summit's current planning materials identify the Worship Encounter as part of the January 15-16, 2027 gathering.
