Need rest and renewal?
We’ve walked the walk.
Here, you’ll meet Licensed Professional Counselors and Certified Spiritual Directors who not only bring years of professional expertise but also have personal experience in ministry and understand its unique struggles. That’s why QuietWaters Ministries exists. Since 2001, we’ve welcomed pastors, missionaries, and other Christian leaders from around the world into a place of rest, renewal and restoration.
A personal fit.
Your time with us is deeply personal—tailored to your needs and free from the pressures of group settings. In our peaceful retreat environment, you can draw close to God and rediscover your calling. Whether you’re looking for intensive counseling or a spiritual formation retreat, our individualized sessions will equip you to return to life and ministry with a renewed heart and fresh vision.
Nestled on a peaceful three-acre property outside of Denver, Colorado, the QuietWaters Retreat Center is surrounded by sweeping rural views of gently rolling prairie with mountain backdrop, offering a gentle invitation into quiet, prayerful reflection. Walking trails on and around the property encourage unhurried conversation with God, your spouse, and your calling—far from the clamor of daily ministry.
You’ll have easy access to some of Colorado’s most breathtaking outdoor experiences. A short drive takes you into the legendary Rocky Mountains where you can trek alpine meadows, gaze upon majestic peaks, or explore panoramic vistas that lift the heart in uniquely Colorado ways.
Colorado is a paradise for hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking, and horseback riding. Water lovers can spend an afternoon canoeing or kayaking on nearby lakes and reservoirs, while winter visitors can enjoy world-class skiing and snowshoeing in the mountains.
For a more relaxed pace, take in the beauty of red rock formations, stroll through botanical gardens, or simply enjoy a picnic by a sparkling stream. Local parks and open spaces offer abundant wildlife viewing and photography opportunities.
Whether you spend your time outside of sessions in quiet reflection or exploring Colorado’s natural wonders, QuietWaters offers the perfect balance of rest and renewal.
It’s simply a place where grace happens.
Few gifts are more meaningful than the gift of rest and renewal for those who tirelessly pour themselves into serving Christ and His people. When Christian leaders spend day after day filling the needs of others without taking time to replenish their own souls, exhaustion can quietly build until it becomes full-fledged burnout. Without intentional seasons of rest, even the most devoted servant can find their passion dimming and their resilience wearing thin.
Through QuietWaters Ministries, it’s easy to gift your pastor, missionary, or Christian leader—and their spouse—a counseling intensive, spiritual formation retreat, or sabbatical experience that brings healing and refreshment, helping them return to ministry with renewed joy and fresh vision.
At our serene retreat setting—a place designed for prayer, reflection, and restoration away from the demands of daily ministry—they can enjoy time with their counselor or spiritual director, unhurried time with the Lord, meaningful connection with one another, and the quiet beauty of God’s creation.
Arranging for their time at QuietWaters is easy—just contact us, share who you’d like to bless, and we’ll take care of the details. It’s a thoughtful way to give back to those who have poured so much into the Kingdom.
