The Presbytery of Scioto Valley announced their annual Church Professionals’ Retreat on November 2–4, 2025, at Hocking Hills State Park Lodge, Logan, OH.

Pastors and church educators are invited to gather this fall for the Presbytery of Scioto Valley’s Annual Church Professionals’ Retreat, a time of rest, renewal, and inspiration designed especially for those in ministry leadership.

This year’s theme is “Sparking Creativity: Bringing Our God-Given Creativity into Worship.” The featured speaker will be Rev. Anna Strickland, Creative Partner with A Sanctified Art—a widely appreciated ministry that brings scripture to life through vibrant expressions like art, poetry, music, and liturgy. Participants will have the opportunity to explore how creativity enhances worship and deepens spiritual connection, while also enjoying fellowship with colleagues and the restorative setting of Hocking Hills.
