Our vision

We live in an impossibly busy culture, overloaded by information and pace. Desiring to counter that and walk in the Way of Jesus, we at Wesley Gardens lead retreats and offer spaces for individuals and groups to connect with Christ & Creation. Our “monastery-like” setting is framed by quiet spaces for prayer and intentionality.

Retreat Director
Micah & Abbie Sprünger are the ministry directors and caretakers of the property. They live a stone’s throw from the Main House with their four children. Micah was raised in a missionary family in Japan, studied history and art at Covenant College and most recently enjoyed participating in the Soul Care Institute two year program. Abbie studied religion at Emory University, and spiritual formation and soul care at Talbot Seminary. She’s a full-time mom and accomplished author. Micah & Abbie worship at Christ Church Anglican.

Reservations
Spiritual growth and the inward journey are the things that give me life. Living abroad in Spain while pursuing a Masters of Arts in Spiritual Formation was an awakening season in my life. I’m learning to implement ancient wisdom passed down through thousands of years of the Christian tradition and live this life on purpose, with intention, availability, and continual transformation into love. I have an incredible wife and beautiful little girl.
