A Special Gift To Our PKs/MKs

A Special Gift To Our PKs/MKs


May 27-29, 2025

Timber Lake Retreat Center | Forsyth, GA

This all-expenses-paid retreat is our gift to pastors' and missionary's kids (ages 7-12), whose parent(s) are credentialed with the GA District Assemblies of God. Is that your kids? Then pack your bags and get ready for three incredible days of fun!

It’s more than a retreat – we're creating an environment where kids thrive in their relationship with Jesus. Your children will experience:

  • Dynamic worship services
  • Small group connections
  • Adventure activities
  • Lasting friendships
  • Mentorship from older PK/MKs
  • Unforgettable memories

This Year’s Theme

This Year’s Theme

The theme for this year’s retreat is "Eureka!". Eureka is an interjection used to celebrate a discovery or invention.  Together our PKs/MKs, along with our leaders, will discover amazing things about God and His purpose for our lives.

Welcome from Our Director

Welcome From Our Director


“We want each student to know how uniquely gifted, valuable, and special they truly are. One of our main goals is that our PKs/MKs will build a lasting bond with each other as many of our teenage PKs/MKs have. My own two children have made many strong, lasting friendships that were built and encouraged at the retreat hosted by the District Youth Department…We believe this will be one of the most significant moments in the lives of your children."


This retreat is a gift from our Superintendent John Dougherty, the Presbytery, and the Georgia District to all children ages 7-12 whose parent(s) are currently credentialed (certified, licensed, or ordained) with the GA District Assemblies of God. There is no charge for your kids to attend this retreat. Students will experience challenging worship services, small group interaction, and lots of fun! We have a group of our Children’s Pastors and some of our very own high school/college PKs/ MKs who are ready to have fun with your kids. We want each student to know how uniquely gifted, valuable, and special they truly are. One of our main goals is that our PKs/MKs will build a lasting bond with each other as many of our teenage PKs/MKs have. My own two children have made many strong, lasting friendships that were built and encouraged at the retreat hosted by the District Youth Department.
