The National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC) is pleased to announce the official opening of registration for the 2025 Pastors’ Retreat, hosted by Harvest Foundation. This unique experience of rest, renewal, and pastoral encouragement will take place from October 27 to November 1, 2025, at the luxurious Meliá Punta Cana Beach and Meliá Caribe Beach resorts.

The event will celebrate 29 years of ministry by Harvest Foundation, gathering over 1,200 pastoral couples from across denominations in a space designed to restore the body, soul, and spiritual leadership of those who serve.

A Vision that Transforms

Since 1996, Harvest Foundation has served thousands of pastors with one clear purpose: “To minister to pastors so they may be renewed and effective in their calling.” In partnership with the NHCLC, this retreat is a direct response to the urgent need to care for and strengthen those who tirelessly care for the Church of Christ.

“When the pastor is well, the church flourishes. Our desire is for this retreat to be a time of encouragement, connection, and deep rest.”

Retreat Highlights

• Full accommodations at luxury, all-inclusive resorts, including room service
• Access to over 20 restaurants between both properties
• Unlimited use of pools, spas, tropical gardens, and white sand beaches
• Dedicated time with your spouse in a setting created for holistic renewal
• Recreational activities like golf, nature walks, and exploring the beauty of the Dominican Republic
