Reaching In
RETREATS AND SEMINARS
As part of our "Reaching In" relationship of fostering authentic community and more mature discipleship, Tempe Church regularly hosts retreats and seminars with special guest speakers from around the country.
On November 6-7, Josh Graves, the preaching and teaching minister at Otter Creek Church (Brentwood, TN) and acclaimed author of The Feast: Serving Jesus in a Famished World (2009), will be speaking at Tempe Church on Saturday evening and Sunday morning. After the worship gathering, we'll have our annual Fall Festival for families and everyone to enjoy.
From October 22-24, we will hold our 2010 Fall Retreat for adults at Copper Basin. Our new minister Steve Tyree will be teaching this year's retreat.
Every year, guest speakers will come do a weekend series with us at the church building or will join us at Copper Basin Bible Camp in Prescott, Arizona.
