A Weekend to Draw Near: Women's Retreat 2025
“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” -James 4:8
Salvation is rooted in the truth that Jesus draws near to each one of us. He finds us when we are lost, moving heaven & earth to be with us. No matter where you are, Jesus is actively pursuing YOU!
Discipleship requires knowing how to draw near to Jesus. Join Bible teacher KAT ARMSTRONG & the WOMEN OF FRISCO BIBLE for this weekend getaway as we explore how following Jesus faithfully means more than trailing behind— it means learning how to come close to Him, seek Him, & trust Him in every moment.

Experience the Retreat: Photos & Praise
I love digging into Gods word and studying
with friends without distractions, being
intentional in meeting and getting to know the women
of Frisco Bible and making new friends!
Community is important and iron sharpens iron.
I need the "on purpose" time away with wise
women & time to pray and just BE STILL!
The Retreat is my only full day "off" each year —
so that alone makes me highly motivated to go!
And every year has been spiritually beneficial in
some way—and some part or another has been
just plain fun! :)
