what is a refresh event?
Refresh isn’t just an event—it’s a getaway with purpose. Each year, The BOOM Network hosts a one-of-a-kind experience designed to help senior pastors, their spouses, and international ministry leaders step away from the grind and reconnect with what matters most.
Think less schedule, more soul space. Mornings start slow. Afternoons are filled with fun—cruise excursions, golf, snorkeling, shopping, or simply relaxing with friends who feel like family. Evenings make room for meaningful conversation, spiritual encouragement, and laughter that refuels you from the inside out.
Each year, we head to a different location, but the heart stays the same:
Rest well. Laugh loud. Leave refreshed.
Because when you’re surrounded by people who get it, who are walking the same road and cheering you on—it changes everything.

“Every time my wife and I leave a 'BOOM’ event, we are refreshed from a few days of laughter, encouragement and thoughtful conversation. The investment of time and resources has always been worthwhile!” - Pastor Brent Coulter
“The one beautiful thing about The Boom Network is the relationships with others who are experiencing the same challenges you face. The ability to share and learn from each other has been great!” - Pastor Mike Cameneti
“Each time we gather together we are able to share ideas, creativity and practical processes. We celebrate the things that have worked and laugh about the things that haven't.” - Pastors Lonnie & Ruth Snell

what have past events looked like?
Outer Banks, NC
We gathered in a beautiful oceanfront home to laugh, rest, and pour into one another. The conversations were rich, the seafood was fresh and unforgettable, and the time together was exactly what our souls needed.
It wasn’t just a great trip—it was a reminder of how life-giving it is to be surrounded by friends who get it. The kind of friends who encourage your calling, cheer you on, and make ministry feel a little lighter.
Rosemary Beach, FL
Our Rosemary Beach Refresh gathering was exactly what we hoped it would be—relaxing, meaningful, and so much fun. We soaked up sun-drenched days by the ocean, shared unhurried conversations, and capped it all off with an evening of laughter aboard a sunset pirate cruise (yes, really).
But what made it truly special were the honest, life-giving conversations about ministry, leadership, and everything in between. The kind of talks that leave you lighter, clearer, and reminded—you’re not in this alone.
Palm Springs, CA
Our Palm Springs Refresh event was an absolute blast! From poolside conversations to breathtaking views on the Mount San Jacinto trails, every moment was packed with connection, laughter, and sunshine.
We shared unforgettable meals, soaked up the desert sun, and wrapped up one night with a round of putt-putt at BOOMER’S that had everyone laughing like kids again.
It was fun. It was life-giving. And it reminded us—time together really matters.
don’t miss our next refresh event!
Our next BOOM Network Refresh event is currently in the works—and trust us, you’re going to want to be there.
While details are still coming together, we can tell you this: it’ll be a few days set apart for senior pastors and their spouses to rest, laugh, and connect with others who are walking the same road. A time to reset your heart, strengthen your friendships, and be reminded that you’re not in this alone.
We’re dreaming up a location that offers sunshine, beauty, and the kind of unhurried space where real conversations happen and God meets us in meaningful ways.
So stay tuned—we’ll be sharing more soon. Because we’d love for you to be part of it.
You pour out all year long. This is your chance to be poured into.
