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. - Californer -- 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.

I've been searching for a Christian women's retreat in Northern California that feels both peaceful and purposeful, and this looks like exactly what I need. I've never been to Mt. Gilead Bible Camp before, but I love that it's tucked away in the redwoods of Sonoma County, not far from Santa Rosa and the Bay Area. Everything about this retreat sounds like an invitation to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with God. It's encouraging to see that women of all ages are welcome. Whether you're coming with your church or showing up solo, it looks like a really warm and faith-filled space. I'm planning to register and already invited a few friends. - Abby W.:
This is such a powerful reminder of why Mt. Gilead Bible Camp remains one of the best Christian camps in California. Nestled in the redwoods near Sebastopol, Mt. Gilead offers a peaceful, Christ-centered retreat setting for women's retreats, youth camps, family weekends, and church leadership gatherings. The 2025 Women's Retreat sounds especially meaningful — a weekend of worship, encouragement, and restoration led by an incredible team of speakers and musicians. For anyone searching for a Christian women's retreat near Santa Rosa, Petaluma, or anywhere in the Bay Area, this is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to step away, reconnect, and grow in faith. Activities like mosaic art, archery, and guided devotionals offer a refreshing mix of fun and spiritual renewal. I love that Mt. Gilead welcomes women of all ages and backgrounds — whether you're attending with your church, bringing a friend, or coming solo, you'll leave feeling encouraged, rested, and rooted in God's love.
