About Pastime

It's about time! Time for you to reconnect, regroup and be reinvigorated. It's about time for something fun, active, or relaxing. Time for you and God to get together in a personal way that touches your soul to its core. It's about Pastime. And it's PAST TIME for you to rest, and be refreshed.
Remember when you were energized and excited about your relationship with Christ, and couldn’t wait to get started in full time Christian ministry? Has it been a while since you felt that way? All too often, the demands of ministry begin to wear us down, and rob us of the first love that started our journey. PASTIME is a program that was started in 2005 with a generous gift by Jim & Nancy Gnagey, who are long-time friends and supporters of Jumonville. Their gift has enabled us to develop and host a program that is designed to encourage personal renewal for Christian leaders. Our goal is to provide a quiet place where the demands of daily life recede and you have the time and resources to draw close to the heart of God.
Christian ministry needs a servant’s heart. We are to be like Christ to all who come to us. We are expected to have gifts of leadership & discernment and we are asked to empower others around us. It seems we must be wise beyond human capacity, full of compassion, and morally without blemish. There are consequences to a weary heart and lonely spirit.
It is only through God’s grace that we are able to continue without being consumed. Come to PASTIME and be led by the Spirit into a reviving encounter with the living Lord.
