About Us
Come Away Ministries is designed to gather women from all walks of life and any religious background, at any stage of their spiritual journey to come together for fun, fellowship, and interactive teachings from the Word of God, all within a beautiful beach setting.
Our vision is to bring women together, out of their daily environments and roles, to lift each other up, to connect, and to engage with God at any level of willingness, whether it be a walk on the beach or participating in a small group discussion.
Come Away Ministries invites women to come just as they are, to feel unconditionally loved and accepted, uplifted and encouraged, and refreshed and renewed. We hope you will join us and bring a friend.
