SOUL OF A PASTOR/MINISTRY LEADER RETREAT
OPEN TRIP: For all Pastors and Ministry Leaders
JUNE 4-8, 2025 | South Holston River | Bristol, TN | $1,950
As pastors, we understand the investment you make in others and the many facets of ministry and leadership that demand your attention each day. What is often missing from the list of needs is the time and attention needed for your soul's health and well-being. Is it time for you to give yourself the critical gift of devoted time away for rest, renewal, and re-imagining life and ministry from the place of a healthy soul?
Altar's staff brings over 75 years of vocational ministry experience and a deep understanding of a leader's life. Join us on an adventure that will heal and enliven your life for the sake of others.
SOUTH HOLSTON RIVER
The South Fork Holston River, more often referred to simply as the South Holston River, is one of the most renowned fishing rivers in the Southeast. USA Today ranked the South Holston 4th for top fly fishing in the country! Beginning in Virginia, the South Holston River is free-flowing for the first part of its journey down the slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The famous tailwaters emanating from the South Holston Dam is where we will find our adventure.
NEED HELP FUNDING YOUR RETREAT?
Altar Fly Fishing was founded as a means to bring healing, refreshment, and long-term impact in the lives of leaders with a special heart for pastors, ministry and non-profit leaders. It is Altar’s mission to invest in leaders like you who are investing so much of their time, energy and resources into others. The problem? Many do not have the time or resources to invest in themselves or their future leadership which is leading to personal suffering from burnout and unhealthy souls. I (Eric Camfield - Altar's Founder) was in that very place years back which is why I made significant changes in my own life and started Altar Fly Fishing’s various ministries.
The Altar team has a toolkit of resources to help engage your congregation, community and personal network to help support this much needed time for rest and personal renewal. It is our hope that those who know you well will understand the importance of this retreat and be honored to share their resources to make this trip possible for you and countless others in ministry that desire to live out what they have been teaching to so many others. Caring for your soul is not a luxury, it is a vital practice that requires intentional time away.

"This retreat was nothing short of awesome for me. Connecting with other leaders that face the same challenges as I do was very valuable. We learned to focus on developing one’s soul. And the coaching we received was tremendously valuable. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to hit the reset button and improve their relationship with God, while becoming a better leader."
