A Special Gift To Our PKs/MKs

A Special Gift To Our PKs/MKs


May 26-28, 2026

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

New This Year: Timberlake's Got Talent!

This year we are adding “Timberlake’s Got Talent”. We are encouraging every student to share their gifts and talents similar to Fun Arts. Categories include vocal solos, dance/interpretive worship, playing an instrument, drama/human video, kids sermon/object lesson, Christian Comedian, sign language, puppetry, short film/ commercial, visual art (drawings, paintings, etc), photography, and creative writing. With the number of students we will likely have, students should choose only one category in which to participate. If siblings are attending and would like to do something together, they are welcome to do so. We will help facilitate whatever your student needs as far as music, media, etc.

Welcome From Our Director


“GA KidMin will once again be hosting our PK (Pastor’s Kids)/MK (Missionary’s Kids) Retreat on Tuesday, May 26 through Thursday, May 28 at Timber Lake Retreat Center in Forsyth.  The theme for this year’s retreat is “Expedition: Timberlake”. Our journey together will help us all to explore God’s Word through engaging worship services, team challenges, and high energy activities. It’s a fun-filled expedition where relationships with God and each other grow and our faith will deepen."


This retreat is a gift from our Superintendent John Dougherty, the Presbytery, and the Georgia District to all children ages 7-12 with at least one parent who is currently credentialed (certified, licensed, or ordained) with the GA District Assemblies of God. There is no fee for your kids to attend this retreat. Snacks and drinks are provided at no charge as well. We have a group of our Kids’ Pastors and some of our very own high school/college PKs/MKs who are ready to love on and 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 for years to come.


Included with this letter you will find a tentative schedule and what your student needs to bring for the weekend. We will once again feature a Trading Post and Game Station for the BGMC Trading Cards. Each student attending will receive one free pack of cards in their welcome bag. We encourage kids to bring the trading cards they already have. We will also have packs of cards available for purchase as well ($5 per pack). Otherwise, no money is needed for this event. Snacks and drinks are provided for free as well. If your child has attended PK/MK Retreat in the past, we encourage them to bring their buttons from previous years to trade as well.


Please register your kids online at www.gakidmin.org/pkmk by Sunday, May 3. If you do not have the ability to register online, please contact our administrative assistant, Rachael Dinie, via email (kidmin@gadistag.org) or via phone (478.405.5901) and she will help you as needed.  


My wife Misty and I personally look forward to spending this time with your kids!  We believe this will be one of the most significant moments in the lives of your children. Please let me know if you have any question or need any further information.  


Sincerely,

Russell Smith
