“Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.”

--Mark 6:31

Come and join me at my favorite spot! My “laughing place” sits on the top of a hill off the beaten path near the TN/NC line. You will be staying in a farmhouse (circa 1927). This is where I write my books. It’s my family’s private get away. We don’t rent this house out, it is not a showroom kind of home. But it is sacred space.

Retreat space is limited to 8 people (THIS IS SHARING BEDS!). The best way to come is with a friend. But if you’d like to come and have a bed to yourself, you can pay an extra fee. Or you can come and make a new friend! 

The cost includes all lodging, food and gifts as well as some really great time together. You will arrive as distant “cousins in Christ” and leave as sister/friends! I believe that God handpicks the women who will spend this weekend together, if you are with us, God has something amazing in store for all of us.

Pastors and Wives Retreat

Now that Tom and Leighann have transitioned to “founding pastors” at Thompson Station Church, they are eager to open their “laughing place” in the NC mountains to pastors and wives who are looking for a moment’s peace, a bit of laughter and a lot of renewal. This will be open to three couples at a time.

"This home has served as a sanctuary for us throughout our years of ministry and we want to share it with you. We’ve survived many heartaches singing hymns on our porch swing, and spent many hours pouring into each other hiking in the woods. We want these retreats to give you a safe place to reconnect with each other, and with God." - Tom and Leighann McCoy
