The spring program line-up at The Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove includes events that will encourage participants to stand strong in their faith and equip them with truth from God’s Word.
Our upcoming schedule features seminars and retreats with ministry leaders, teachers, and authors including Lisa Harper, Jim Cymbala, and more. Specialized programs include concert events, a Military Marriage Retreat for active-duty, Guard, and Reserve military members and their spouses, and Pastor Renewal Retreats for those in pastoral or church leadership ministry and their spouses. Our Bible study and seminar events are free of charge to attendees, although material, food and lodging fees apply.
