A Space for Group Retreats: Gather and Grow, Together

Heritage serves as a sanctuary for connection, welcoming both intimate gatherings and small- to medium-sized groups for day sessions or overnight retreats.

At the heart of Heritage is Pine Lodge, a 7,500 sq. ft. full-service space designed to host group retreat experiences to collaborate and reconnect. Indoors, you’ll find multiple meeting rooms, a spacious dining area, a cozy library, and an intimate chapel, with a screened porch for informal gatherings—flowing naturally into a lush garden courtyard, perfect for quiet reflection and stillness.

Beyond the lodge, groups can enjoy a stocked pond with a pond house, outdoor fire pits for evening connection, and inviting communal amenities, perfect for attendees to unwind, share stories and embrace a rhythm of relaxation.Take a break from a day’s worth of productive meetings, and enjoy comfort, community, and connection in a group retreat venue unlike any other.

What to Expect at Your Group Retreat at Heritage

A typical group retreat at Heritage begins with an afternoon check-in, time to settle into your cottage, and a shared dinner in Pine Lodge that sets the tone for the days ahead. From there, the retreat follows whatever rhythm your group needs — morning sessions in the Boardroom or Great Room, breakout conversations on the screened porch, and downtime to walk the trails, fish at the pond, or gather around the fire pits in the evening. By the final morning, most groups leave feeling more aligned, more connected, and genuinely refreshed.

Whether your group is here for leadership planning, team building, a ministry weekend, or a staff retreat, Heritage provides the flexibility to support your program while our team handles the logistics. The property itself — from the quiet of the grounds and the historic church to the warmth of the pond house and courtyard — naturally encourages the kind of focus and honest conversation that rarely happens back at the office or in a hotel conference room.

5 Star in all areas, especially hospitality. The staff is incredible and the grounds are peaceful and prayerful means to walk a little closer with God. When you leave you're already thinking, when can I get back..

Heritage provided our faculty and staff a wonderful retreat! What a beautiful, peaceful space! We loved our experience - the facilities, the hospitality, the amenities... we can't wait to come back next year for an overnight experience!
