ECC Women’s Ministry invites all ladies, 18 and older, to join us October 15-17th, for “Finding Your Purpose,” a weekend retreat of fun and fellowship, with an emphasis on exploring who we are as women, and discovering God’s purposes for our lives.

The retreat will take place at Kenbrook Bible Camp, with teaching by Lydia Nimon and Renee Groff.  Cost is $150/person and includes three meals on Saturday, breakfast Sunday morning, and two nights of accommodation.  

A non-refundable $50 fee is due upon registration, with the remainder cost of the event due by September 15. No money will be refunded after September 20 if you choose to cancel. If you wish to bless someone and sponsor their way, please call the church office to submit payment. 

Accommodations are based on a double occupancy (or triple if needed). If you would like to choose your roommate, please enter their name on the registration page when prompted, and have both parties register separately.  If you do not provide a name, women’s ministry will assign you  a roommate.

Antioch was the first apostolic sending center focused on the world. 

What made Antioch? Was it their devotion to unified prayer? Their focus on training and discipleship? Or their sending of teams for rapid multiplication? Join us as we unpack this model of the early church for kingdom advancement.

Desmond Frey was born in Zurich, Switzerland and spent most of his
childhood years between Switzerland and South Africa. Since 1980 he
has been involved in various aspects of ministry from Bible school
director, church planter, humanitarian mission’s coordinator, senior
pastor, church overseer and European director for several international
ministries.

During the 90’s Desmond reduced his full time ministry responsibilities to
join the corporate world, where he held various senior management and
executive positions. This valuable experience only strengthened
Desmond’s passion for mentoring next-gen church leaders. As John
Maxwell’s Senior EQUIP Partner for Europe, Desmond raised up several
teams across 14 European countries to train over 90 thousand new
leaders in local churches.

Today Desmond serves on the lead team of Buchegg Church, a multi-
campus mega church in the heart of Zurich, Switzerland. He continues to
coach pastors and church teams in Europe.
Desmond and Sandy have been married for 35 years and have hosted
their “Refresh” marriage conference all around the world. They love
ministering together and never seem to run out of examples after being
empty nesters to four adult kids and nine grandkids.
