RETREATS. During the course of a year, Uptown Church usually offers several different retreats designed to further our walk with Christ and our understanding of Scripture. These retreats include amen s retreat, a women's retreat, and also a church-wide retreat. Retreats are wonderful opportunity to learn from a guest speaker and also to deepen relationships with other members of the Church. CONFERENCES. Throughout the year there are numerous Christian conferences offered around the country that are excellent tools for Discipleship Training. Our own denomination, the PCA, puts on numerous conferences on such topics as Church Planting and Urban Ministry. Also, members are encouraged to attend other reformed conferences—such as Ligonier Conferences and the Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology—which are held annually and can be a great training experience.
