Amy Moore @ Pine Cove

PHPC @ Pine Cove is an annual weekend retreat for members of the PHPC community. The weekend offers our family of faith an opportunity to retreat to the piney woods of Texas to make deeper connections, play together in God’s beautiful creation, and grow in faith through workshops, speakers and activities.

Play | It's not all serious
The opportunities for kids to play with one another, adults to join in the fun, or for families to play together are endless at Pine Cove. Hop in a canoe, jump on a zip line, go for a dip in the pool, fish on the dock, or blaze a trail on a horse. Evenings are filled with conversation, dominoes, card games and campfires.

Connect | God, Self, and others
Let’s face it, there are stars, no televisions and minimal distractions. The annual retreat is a perfect opportunity for you to unplug from life, reconnect with God, yourself, and other members. Whether you connect over coffee with a beautiful pond view, in a canoe during a joint prayer to stay out of the water, or by sharing a meal, these are connections that last. The weekend ends with worship - as it should - celebrating the connections made all weekend long. Connect with us!

"I appreciate the opportunity to get away from the demands of our life at home and enjoy fellowship with other members.  My children LOVE it and talk about it all year long!  It is a nice and enjoyable way to learn more about God and my faith." —Lacy Schultz
