OUR PROGRAM

MARBLE RETREAT

Since 1974, Marble Retreat has provided a safe place for transformation and life giving hope to over 5000 participants from around the world.

Marble Retreat’s 8-day program schedule consists of an effective combination of individual/couples and group counseling, led by Christian counselors in a confidential setting of recreation and rest. As an interdenominational Christian counseling center, Marble Retreat provides a doorway to healing for those who are tired and hurting. Please contact us; we are here to help. We are a proud member of the American Association of Christian Counselors.

Here are a few of the circumstances that bring folks to Marble Retreat, Counseling Center For Pastors, Missionaries and other Christian leaders:

  • Dealing with depression and burnout, compassion fatigue, trauma on the mission field
  • Grief, anxiety, major transitions, and other emotionally taxing experiences
  • Marital conflict (restoration following an affair, communication problems, etc.)
  • Vocational (forced termination, mid-life crisis, thinking of leaving ministry, etc.)

  • Sexual problems including pornography use

Marble Retreat can help you recover and thrive again in your life and ministry.

Currently our counseling model is individual or couples counseling where a person or couple privately meets with one counselor. Beginning in January 2023 we will be re-introducing group counseling sessions. Our model will then include a purposeful, strategic and effective combination of group and individual/couples therapy.

Marble Retreat offers eight carefully designed days of individual and couples Christian counseling and group counseling. Initial hours are spent in assessing your history and needs, sharing your story. Based on issues identified, subsequent counseling is designed to deal with those concerns.

Our program is modeled after the Intensive Psychotherapy Center at the Mayo Clinics, Rochester, MN, as an alternative to months of conventional weekly counseling. It offers the added benefit of working with counselors who specialize in working with pastors and missionaries and themselves have lived the ministry life.

Some of the issues we have found our program can help with include, but are not limited to: burnout, dealing with stress, marital issues -including recovery from affairs, problems with intimacy, conflict resolution, and communication, depression and anxiety, spiritual struggles, grief and loss, ministry and life transitions, rediscovering God’s call and passion in ministry.

While Marble Retreat’s program is well suited for crisis situations it also is very helpful for those in ministry who are looking for refreshment and renewal and are looking to prepare themselves for their next step in ministry.

Retreat guests come from many denominational, ethnic and geographic backgrounds with one unifying bond — they recognize the need for God’s restoring touch for their broken spirits. Our committed staff of Christian counselors want to help them find healing, transformation, new insights and more effective coping skills.
