What is respond?

Respond Worship Retreat is a two day get-a-way for worship leaders and worship ministry teams in or around southwest Missouri. Respond is unique in that it's not only geared toward the "staffed" worship leader, but the servant volunteer, as well. We strive to provide quality biblical teaching, leadership training, and God-honoring worship at a very affordable price in order that you and your entire team can join us as we respond!

Knowing this fact, we try our absolute best to keep prices at a range you and your team can afford while, at the same time, not sacrificing the quality of content and experience we always strive to produce each year.


Registration includes meals, event materials and housing.
