Shiloh ATL exists to create and facilitate retreats where people can rest, encounter God's love, and return to their everyday lives renewed and reoriented.

Life is full and can tug us in many directions, leaving little energy to step away for retreat. We create accessible, unhurried, reflective spaces that invite rest, encounter with God, and reorientation to return to ordinary life renewed.

Our ultimate vision is to own a retreat property in Mableton, GA, a nearby physical space where people can step away from the demands of everyday life and make room to sense God’s presence. In the meantime, as we gather the resources to make that vision a reality, we’re partnering with friends across the city to offer half-day retreats, spiritual direction, and curated guides for those planning their own solo retreat.

We believe retreat should be accessible to everyone. Because retreats can be a significant expense, we offer our gatherings free of charge and keep them close to home, making it possible for more people to participate in these important and renewing spiritual practices.

The Shiloh House

A future retreat property in Mableton, GA, where Atlanta has an accessible physical space to draw near to God.

Imagine a property with walking trails, a house with bedrooms for guests, a library room of books, a large kitchen for cooking together, a garden to tend to, and an art studio to get creative in.
