Tel Hai hosts Christian marriage retreats for churches on 150 acres of Pennsylvania Dutch countryside near the Chester and Lancaster County line.
Focus On Your Marriage Retreat While We Take Care of Hosting
Booking a weekend away is easy. Creating space where husbands and wives slow down, listen, and grow closer to God is the real work that weighs on you.
Many ministry leaders who search for a couples retreat near me find spa packages made for two, not a church group. Tel Hai was designed for gatherings like yours, and our team carries the logistics so you can lead.
Comparing marriage retreats near me often turns up conference hotels where dinner is on your own. From its grounds in Honey Brook, Tel Hai bundles meals, lodging, and meeting space into one rate for churches across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware.
Each of Beechwood Lodge’s 10 motel-style rooms has a queen bed, private bathroom, and air conditioning. Linens come provided, so nobody packs sheets or climbs into a bunk.
Our Guest Services staff walks alongside your coordinator from the first inquiry to the final meal. Setup, menus, and schedule changes land on us, which frees you to shepherd your people.
Christian couple retreats need quiet. Woods, fields, and a lake give spouses room to walk, talk, and pray. On winter nights, everyone can draw near the fireplace lounge in Beechwood.
Married guests settle into Beechwood, where every room includes its own bathroom. Spruce Lodge adds four bedrooms around a wood-burning fireplace. Berea Cabin gives your speaker a peaceful spot to stay.
Four meeting spaces seat 100 to 200 people, each with a sound system and projector ready for your sessions. Beechwood also has two built-in rooms, so couples are steps from where they gather.
Our kitchen serves three home-style meals a day and accommodates dietary needs. For a relaxed evening, add a campfire dinner or a wagon ride with snacks.
Stroll the trails or circle Swan Lake between sessions. Adventurous pairs can take on the challenge course, zip line, giant swing, or climbing wall together.
