About
Step away from the everyday and into a sacred space of renewal. The annual Idaho Conference Prayer Retreat & Training returns October 23–25, 2026, offering a transformative weekend designed to deepen your prayer life, equip you with practical tools, and connect you with a community of believers seeking God’s presence together. Whether you’re a seasoned intercessor or just beginning your journey, you’ll leave refreshed, focused, and empowered to pray with greater purpose. Come expectant. Come ready. Reserve your spot today and experience the power of gathered prayer.
This year, our Prayer Retreat theme is "Rooted in the River," inspired by Jeremiah 17:7–8. Just as a tree planted by the water remains strong, fruitful, and unshaken through every season, we are invited to deepen our trust in God and remain firmly rooted in His presence. Join us as we spend time in prayer, worship, and reflection, seeking to strengthen our faith and draw closer to the One who sustains us.
Who should attend
Anyone who is interested in learning more about prayer or becoming a prayer leader.
