About Us
“Come to me, all you who are weary…(Matt. 11:28-30 NIV)
As Jesus followers, we have read the red letters of this passage many times, and yet, we know that many Christian leaders are quietly carrying exhaustion, depression, and a burden in the world that’s full of meetings, “to-do” lists, and heaviness.
At Whispering Pines, we want to invite you to explore that Scripture to its fullest: come away and find rest.
Ready to step away and find rest?
Through weekend retreats and single-day experiences, we create intentional space for Jesus-followers to slow down, breathe deeply, and encounter the restorative presence of God.
This isn’t just a beautiful property. It’s a place that has been designed for renewal and respite care.
With experienced inner healing practitioners on-site, time in God’s creation, nutrition to help comfort the soul, guests are gently guided through healing heart wounds, spending time in stillness, and the reminder that they are loved as God’s child long before they entered the world of ministry.
Why It Matters
The pace of life hasn’t just accelerated in culture, but it’s made its way into the Church.
Many leaders are faithfully showing up week after week while quietly running on fumes. The weight of responsibility, constant availability, and unrelenting schedules have left too many spiritually depleted.
At Whispering Pines, we believe that kind of pace isn’t sustainable, and ultimately, it’s not what God intended.
Here, we invite leaders to step out of the noise and into a slower rhythm…
one where they can hear God clearly again, receive care themselves, and experience true renewal, not just temporary relief.
You don’t have to keep showing up for everyone else while running on empty.
A Place to Be Restored
Whether you’re coming for a personal retreat, a day away, or with a small group, Whispering Pines exists to serve those who spend their lives serving others.
This is a space to:
Rest deeply
Process honestly
Encounter God personally
Leave renewed
You’re Invited
If you’re ready to step away from the pressure and into a place of peace, we invite you to experience Whispering Pines for yourself.
“Our stay at Whispering Pines was a restorative time of refreshment. From the moment we arrived, we were met with warm hospitality that made us feel immediately welcomed and cared for. The hosts went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of, and their kindness never felt forced—it was genuine and deeply appreciated.
The retreat is truly a hidden gem, nestled in a peaceful, natural setting that offers a perfect escape from the busyness of daily life. It was quiet, restful, and exactly what we needed to recharge. At the same time, there was no shortage of things to do, even for my teens! They especially enjoyed time swimming and fishing in the pond just outside the house we stayed in.
One of the most meaningful parts of our visit was the intentional support shown to ministry families. Whispering Pines is more than just a getaway —it's a place of restoration and encouragement. They understand the unique challenges of ministry life and provide an atmosphere where pastors and their families can truly rest, reconnect, and be refreshed.
We look forward to visiting again!” —Jason and Jenni Baker, GUALALA BAPTIST CHURCH
