Ladies Retreat
October 9 – 11, 2026
Ladies Retreat
Nestled in peaceful Highland County, the Machen Ladies Retreat offers a refreshing escape from the busyness of everyday life. Surrounded by natural beauty—weathered wood cabins, open fields, and quiet wooded paths—the retreat is a warm where women can slow down, reflect, and reconnect. Cozy campfires invite meaningful conversation and laughter, while the rustic surroundings encourages rest, renewal, and spiritual refreshment in God’s word. Whether sharing meals, enjoying quiet moments outdoors, or learning more about the Lord during talks, the Ladies Retreat provides a space to build community, deepen faith, and return home renewed in heart and spirit.
Join us for our 26th Ladies Retreat, October 9-11, to rest, learn, and fellowship in the fall beauty of the mountains.
Last Year’s Speaker: Monique Adam
Am I Worthy?
Monique Adam is a wife and mother of two grown daughters and a not-quite-grown son. She resides in Charles Town, WV with her husband, son, and ever-hungry dog. Monique enjoys learning how to do things and keep a running list of new hobbies (currently the circular machine knitting is her jam). She’s personally struggled with self-esteem from middle school and a failed first marriage. God has been graciously and patiently showing her that she is valuable.

I will lift up my eyes to the mountains;
From where shall my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.
Psalm 121:1-2
