Coworkers retreat 2026

in Monbachtal

Recharge in Monbachtal!

Sometimes it’s just good to pause for a moment. To take a deep breath. To meet people who understand what moves you – in your work, in everyday life, in your faith. That’s exactly what the staff conference is for.

From March 30 to April 2, 2026, all employees will meet in the beautiful Monbachtal valley to experience fellowship, recharge their batteries, celebrate, and look to the future together.

Here we meet each other – across countries, generations, and areas of work. We share experiences, listen to each other, laugh together, and feel anew what connects us: Jesus! We will discuss what is currently happening in Kontaktmission, where God is leading us as a movement, and how the generational change is taking shape. It’s about inspiration, orientation, and the joy of building the future together. Children and teens are also right in the middle of it all. They will experience days full of fun, fellowship, and encouragement—with peers who understand them and share their faith.
