Mt. Gilead Bible Camp invites women of all ages to its 2025 Christian women's retreat in Sonoma County, California—featuring keynote speaker Sharon Sands, powerful worship, creative workshops, fellowship, and rest beneath the redwoods.

SEBASTOPOL, Calif. - s4story -- SEBASTOPOL, Calif. —
Each spring, women from across California gather beneath the redwoods of Sonoma County for a weekend filled with worship, encouragement, and authentic fellowship.

Hosted by Mt. Gilead Bible Camp, the Annual Women's Retreat is an invitation to step away from daily demands and enter into the peaceful, faithful presence of God. Women of all ages are welcome to join this powerful gathering centered on connection, reflection, and spiritual renewal.

This year's theme, "Even If," is drawn from the deeply moving words of Habakkuk 3:17–18 — a reminder that even when life feels uncertain, God's goodness never changes. Whether you are in a season of abundance or waiting, this weekend is a place to rest, worship, and remember that the Lord is faithful in every circumstance.

Sharon Sands will serve as the keynote speaker for 2025, bringing over 30 years of ministry experience marked by grace, authenticity, and enduring faith. The retreat will begin with a special pre-conference session led by Dawn Gould, a trusted voice at Mt. Gilead, who will guide women into quiet reflection before the main weekend begins.

Worship will be led by a faithful team of musicians including Mickie Cazet, Makenna Overzet, and Sandi King — each known for their heart for Scripture and their love for leading others in song.

Alongside the sessions, women will enjoy relaxing outdoor activities including pickleball, archery, and guided mosaic art workshops. Shared meals, laughter, and quiet coffee conversations beneath the redwoods often become the moments that speak most deeply to the heart.

Since 1963, Mt. Gilead Bible Camp has been a place of rest, growth, and belonging for thousands across Northern California. Located just minutes from Sebastopol and within reach of Santa Rosa, Petaluma, and the Bay Area, Mt. Gilead offers a peaceful setting to encounter Christ and reconnect with others.

  • Faith Conference:
    Attending the Women's Faith Conference at Mt. Gilead was one of the most meaningful spiritual experiences I've ever had. From the moment I arrived, I felt surrounded by love, peace, and a genuine sense of belonging. The teaching was powerful and grounded in truth, the worship was deeply moving, and the setting—tucked away in the redwoods—made it easy to slow down and hear from God. The women I met came from all over, yet there was an immediate connection rooted in faith and fellowship. Mt. Gilead goes beyond hosting a retreat—it creates space for real healing, growth, and joy. I left feeling renewed, strengthened, and more connected to the Lord than I've been in a long time. Campers of California, especially women searching for purpose and rest, this is the place. I cannot recommend Mt. Gilead enough. I'll be back every year I can.
  • Campers of California:
    Mt. Gilead is easily the best Christian camp I have ever experienced in California. From the moment you arrive, you feel the peace and presence of God throughout the entire property. The setting in the redwoods is absolutely beautiful and creates the perfect place to unplug and reconnect with what truly matters. The staff genuinely cares and it shows in how they serve, teach, and lead with grace and kindness. Every retreat or camp is thoughtfully planned with meaningful messages, uplifting worship, and time to grow in faith and friendships. What sets Mt. Gilead apart is their commitment to sharing the love of Christ in everything they do. You can feel it in the laughter, the prayers, the quiet moments, and the joy that fills this place. If you are looking for a camp where God moves and lives are changed, this is it. Mt. Gilead is more than a camp. It is a sacred space that draws you closer to Jesus.
