Adorn is a weekend gathering created for women. Our desire is that you would encounter God and deepen your connections with other women who love Him. It's compromised of teaching sessions, meals, and free time for friendship and fun. This year the retreat is April 11th-12th, 2025. We do this retreat in partnership with Pillar Dumfries and other pillar churches in our local area! Check out more information below. If you have any questions, please contact Tori Abdallah!

  • Why is it called ADORN?
    I Peter 3:3-5 says, "Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes.Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves." 

    As we encounter Christ at Adorn, we pray that He would conform us more into His image and ADORN us with godliness. We want to encourage each other to focus on what matters-not the external, but the eternal. 


    Age Limit:
    Adorn is open to women ages 13 and above. In fact, your teenage daughters are not just ALLOWED to come, but ENCOURAGED to attend. Please spread the word and have them invite their friends as well; Our daughters need to see what it looks like for older women to follow Christ!


    Teaching sessions:
    This year's theme is RENEWED AS ONE. We'll be studying Ephesians 4 together. We encourage you to read the passage before the retreat to prepare your heart!

    Friendship/Fun:
    The weekend will provide the opportunity to see old friends within our network as well as the opportunity to strengthen relationships within your church. It is our hope that our churches would be marked by authentic relationships, and weekends like this are a way to make that possible.

    What to bring:
    1. A good attitude: this event is 100% run on volunteers--please be nice even when things don't go perfect :)
    2.  Bible and journal for taking notes
    3. Toiletries

    4. Whatever you need for a sleepover (melatonin and Earplugs??!!)
    5. A camping chair if you want to sit outside and enjoy the weather/firepit
    6. A snack or game to share (if you want to share)
    7. Your favorite water bottle (to stay hydrated!)
