The PEAK Wellness & Retreat Center

A sacred space to Rest, Learn, Grow and Gather in Christ

The PEAK Wellness & Retreat Center is a sacred space in Van Buren, Arkansas, created for rest, learning, growth, fellowship, and meaningful connection in Christ.

Nestled on a peaceful property, The PEAK offers PEAK Café hospitality, retreats, spiritual direction, Bible studies, monthly programs, peaceful rental spaces, the PEAK Partner Ministry of Rest, prayer gardens, a chapel, greenhouse, pavilion, and overnight retreat space.

Rooted in Prayer, Encouragement, Appreciation, and Kindness, every offering is designed to help guests slow down, listen for God’s voice, and experience renewal in spirit, soul, and body.

Whether you are seeking rest, wisdom, direction, fellowship, or a place to gather, The PEAK is a place to be renewed and restored in Him.
You are welcome here.

Our mission is carried out through four core pillars: Prayer, Encouragement, Appreciation, and Kindness

  • P – Prayer
    We create sacred space for rest, renewal, and deeper connection with God through prayer.
  • E – Encouragement
    We speak truth with grace, uplifting men and women and reminding them of their identity in Christ.
  • A – Appreciation
    We honor each person's unique journey and celebrate the work of God in his or her life.
  • K – Kindness
    We cultivate a safe, welcoming environment grounded in Christ’s compassion and care.

At The PEAK, every person is invited to:

  • Rest – through quiet retreats, time in nature, personal reflection, and sacred rhythms of Sabbath

  • Learn – through faith-based wellness education, Bible-centered workshops, and practical tools for healthy living

  • Grow – through spiritual direction, mentorship, purpose discovery, and leadership development

  • Gather – through café hospitality, rentals, Bible studies, fellowship, retreats, and ministry gatherings

    Matthew 11:28-30

    Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

    Our Space

    The PEAK offers prayer gardens, day rooms, and a quiet house for rest or small groups. Guests can meander through wooded areas, relax by the pond, or enjoy hammocks and a rock garden. The teaching studio hosts movement and wellness classes, and the PEAK Café offers coffee, books, and space to connect. A one-bedroom retreat house is available for overnight stays. The property also features a seasonal creek, greenhouse, outdoor pavilion, and peaceful seating areas. A community garden, flower market, and chapel are coming soon. Wellness resources are available to support your journey.

    " As I looked forward to coming to this retreat, I was thinking of all the things I wanted to do while I was here and situations I was hoping I could think through and find solutions for. But from the time I arrived here, I was overcome with a feeling of peace and comfort. I checked in at 11 a.m. and was sound asleep on a big comfy bed by noon until 1:30. I have not taken a nap in, well, I don't remember the last nap I took, before today. I read my bible and some of your books, I was still today, and I found comfort in my stillness, which is not like me at all. I read some in the book of Matthew and Chapter 25 verse 35 - I was a stranger and you invited me into your home - stood out to me. Thank you for showing this stranger hospitality. I will leave here refreshed and revitalized. Thanks again for having me and for blessing me with kindness. "
