FAQs

Who is the speaker?

Erin Wheeler:
Erin  is the author of The Good Portion – The Church: Delighting in the Doctrine of the Church. She also works part-time as a labor and delivery nurse. Erin is a Bible teacher and one of the cohosts of the 9Marks Priscilla Talk podcast. Erin and her husband, Brad, live in Fayetteville, Arkansas. They have four children. They are members of University Baptist Church, where Brad serves as the lead pastor.
What will we be doing at the retreat?
There will be three teaching sessions, worship, personal devotion time, and some free time for you to socialize, rest, fellowship, etc.
Can I go for just one day? 
We encourage all ladies to attend the entire retreat. If we reach full room capacity, there will be the option to purchase a "day pass" at a reduced cost. 
What should I bring?
  • Snack to share for Friday night. Please sign-up here
  • Bible, pen, and notebook.  We'll provide you with a handout, as well, but it will have limited note-taking space.
  • A sweater/jacket to wear inside. The Lodge at Country Lake houses our guest rooms, meeting space, and cafeteria all in one building, so it's possible not to step foot outside during the entire retreat, but some spaces (like the hallway to our guest rooms) can be hard to keep at a comfortable temperature, so you may appreciate an extra layer to wear when needed.
  • Hats, gloves, a blanket, etc. if you want to take advantage of walking trails or go to the optional bonfire on Friday evening.
How old do you have to be to attend?
You must have graduated high school.
Can I get a ride? 
Join the 2026 Clifton Women's Retreat group to easily communicate with the ladies who are registered for the retreat to see if anyone can provide a ride. Please reach out to Alexis McDowell if you have any difficulty joining the group or receiving messages.
Do I have to request a roommate? 
You do not have to request a roommate. The retreat committee will place you with a roommate if you do not put a name down on your registration form.
Can babies come? Will there be a pumping room? 
Babies are not allowed at the retreat, but we will have a pumping room for moms to pump, along with a fridge to save their milk.
