This retreat is not just an event but an opportunity for us to come together as a church family, deepen our faith, and experience God’s presence in a serene and supportive environment.

Motive of the Retreat

The motive behind our retreat is rooted in the principles of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, which emphasizes the importance of rest, renewal, and spiritual growth. Inspired by the Bible’s call to “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28), this retreat aims to provide a sanctuary from the busyness of everyday life. We will engage in meaningful worship, insightful Bible study, and enriching fellowship. Our goal is to foster a stronger community spirit, encourage personal spiritual growth, and equip ourselves to better serve our church and wider community. Whether you are seeking answers, desiring deeper connections, or simply looking to recharge your spiritual batteries, this retreat is designed for you.

Felix Metonou is originally from Benin, Pastor Metonou currently serves in the Austrian Union as the regional head for the western territories of Upper Austria, Salzburg, Tyrol, and Vorarlberg.

Throughout the retreat, Pastor Felix Metonou will share powerful insights on living a Christ-centered life, deepening our understanding of God’s word, and applying our faith in practical, impactful ways.
