Evangel University President Dr. Mike Rakes invites you to the breathtaking Golden Isles of Georgia for an unforgettable gathering at The Cloister at Sea Island.
Enjoy the company of like-minded believers who are passionate about the importance of Spirit-driven education in building a better future. You’ll receive insightful messages from trusted voices in the Church, experience intentional time of worship and reflection, and enjoy the unmatched hospitality and timeless charm that define the Sea Island experience.
A Retreat with Purpose
Once a retreat for world leaders, now a sanctuary for you.
The Cloister at Sea Island invites you to step into a place where elegance meets the wild beauty of Georgia’s coast. Set among peaceful marshlands and five miles of private beach, this is where rest comes naturally. Chase adventure on horseback, tee off on championship greens, or glide across the water on a paddleboard. Here, every moment is curated for wonder.
