Don’t Let Your Schedule
Keep You From Encountering God
Are you finding the daily demands of life a bit overwhelming, at times leaving you feeling empty spiritually? Taking a few days off from your fast-paced life may be just what you need. Our monthly seminars and periodic retreats allow you to escape, get spiritual breakthrough and celebrate those experiences with others so that you can be revitalized for the path ahead.
Find Fulfillment in God's Presence
Through These In-Depth Experiences
Get Away With God
Carve out time to get away from life’s daily distractions and grow your relationship with God. Position yourself to receive new experiences with the Lord far from the interruptions of your daily commitments.
Form Community
Feel the spirit of community with other like-minded believers on one of our three yearly retreats. Having others to share and celebrate your spiritual growth creates memorable moments and new friendships to help propel you forward.
Get Spiritually Filled Up
With no distractions from your everyday life, find out how beneficial it is to give your undivided attention to God. Sit at His feet where you can hear from Him, learn Biblical truths and become fulfilled through experiencing His presence.
Like you, we too long to devote more attention to God. Many believers would like nothing more. Taking a Saturday or a few days off from your daily routine to give more attention to God will reap eternal rewards and help give you the accelerated growth you're looking for.
"I witnessed miracles of forgiveness and healing. I was humbled and yet lifted. I laughed, I cried and I grew. As I reflect on my spiritual journey, I am reminded of the RSOM retreats that drew me closer in relationship not only with our Lord but also in the community of other believers, my brothers and sisters."

Monthly Saturday Seminars
If you’re finding it difficult to schedule more one-on-one time with God, come to one of our Saturday Seminars. Take a day off from the stress of your everyday life and commit time solely to your spiritual growth. Breaking up the monotony of life to form community and receive breakthrough you would normally miss will make a significant difference for you. Choose three Seminars from the options below.
Living the Kingdom Life
Have you been desiring to grow in living the kingdom lifestyle that Jesus modeled? Jesus consistently proclaimed the gospel of the kingdom, and modeled the life every believer is eligible and encouraged to apprehend. Through this seminar, you’ll grow your intimacy with Jesus Christ as you learn to leverage your spiritual gifts, talents, and purpose to expand the kingdom of God. This Course is dedicated to equipping the saints by teaching, modeling, and experiencing the gifts of the Holy Spirit so you can live the kingdom life every day.
Walking in the Prophetic
Have you ever struggled hearing God’s voice? As children of God, the Bible says we are to daily hear and follow His voice. But a lot of us need help and practice to discern between God’s thoughts and our own. As we grow in this confidence we can begin hearing God for other people through the prophetic gifting. If you join this seminar you will gain a Biblical understanding of how to hear His voice, what the prophetic gifting is and how we are to use it to build the kingdom of God!
Cultivating Joyful Intimacy
Have you ever struggled approaching God from a place of obligation, or has it ever felt like a chore? God desires us to approach Him from a place of deep joy, excitement and satisfaction. But how do we get there? Spend your Saturday with us as we learn the biblical and foundational principles to establish in our lives in order to better understand God’s invitation into an intimate relationship. From this seminar, you’ll begin to develop a closer walk with Jesus and be encouraged to know Him more deeply. You’ll find out what it means to live a life of joyful intimacy with God so you can become fulfilled in knowing Him!

Retreats
Imagine taking a few days off from the stress of your everyday life and spending time sitting at the feet of Jesus. Grow spiritually through worship, activities, teachings and activations in a setting with other like-minded believers. These times usually end up being very impactful for all who choose to go with an expectant and prepared heart. Choose one Retreat from the options below:
Embracing the Father's Heart
Have you ever spent time considering that Jesus refers to God as “our Father?” From the very beginning, mankind was created for this kind of encounter, face-to-face with Father God. Every fiber of our being aches for this. Humanity has been wired for divine encounters with a Heavenly Family: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Spend time away on this retreat and overcome the orphan spirit by walking in sonship so you can experience the depth, intimacy and freedom that comes with knowing God as Father.
Loving God in Community
Have you been longing to experience the depth, height, width and length of God’s great love for us? This is the ultimate cry of our hearts as children of God; to experience God’s great and unimaginable love for us, and to discover that within the context of community. Spend time away on this retreat and allow yourself to be overcome by the love of God so you can discover new depths of intimacy with Him. Receive a fresh perspective and start a new lifestyle of freely loving the people God has placed in your life.
God's Vision and Calling
Are you looking for a deeper experience of God? For many of us, our experience of God is small because our vision of God is small. This ultimately leads to a lack of vision from God. Here is an opportunity for you to engage God and receive vision and direction for your next steps in your calling. Learn powerful lessons and gain critical tools through our study of the life of the prophet Elijah. Join us in the majestic Northern California Redwoods as we unplug from the distractions around us and fully engage the Lord. Find greater purpose and receive a greater vision of God.
Elective Courses
If you’re looking for dynamic supplemental courses to help add to your spiritual growth, then check out our Elective Courses. We have different content designed just for you depending on what your are passionate about and where you feel God leading you. We cover multiple topics like women in leadership, how to preach, pastoral ministry and more! Your RSOM tuition covers six courses; choose from the options below:
Pastor Miles Preaching Class
Do you have a burning desire to share your story, but don’t know what to say or how to say it? Have you felt a call to preach the Gospel, but your speaking skills need to get to another level? Let Pastor Miles McPherson equip you to boldly share your testimony with anyone, anywhere, anytime. Grow in your communication skills and stage presence, and learn how to prepare and deliver an anointed message. Inspire others to act by clearly sharing the hope of Jesus.
The Book of Acts
Have you ever wondered what happened after Jesus ascended to heaven? Just exactly how did the powerful ministry of Jesus continue through the men and women who spent 3 years with Him? And what type of impact should that have upon our lives today? In The Book of Acts course, we’ll dive deep into early church history. We’ll take a look at what the disciples of Jesus did after He left earth and how they were empowered by the Holy Spirit for impactful ministry. We’ll see how they carried the mission and spread the love of Jesus to the ends of the earth so that you can be encouraged and inspired to do the same.
Life on Mission
Oftentimes, the command to go and make disciples is expressed for the sole purpose of motivating others to leave the US on a mission trip. As believers, how can we fulfill this command in our day-to-day lives, as well as in foreign missions? I’d like to invite you to join us, as we dive into the topic of Life on Mission. Through this 8-week course, we’ll explore the mission of the church. You’ll grow in your relationship with God, and deepen your understanding of the community around you so that you can feel fulfilled through the great joy of fulfilling the mission of God in your everyday life.
Women in Leadership - In The Home
Have you ever wondered if the Bible says men are the head of the house, does the wife have a voice? Or what does scripture mean when it says women submit to your husband? Have you read a passage in scripture and determined that women cannot make a decision or lead in the home? If you so, join us as we explore an overview in biblical, and contemporary views on the leadership roles of women in the home and finding the balance between husband and wife. We will examine the significant contributions women have made from the New Testament to the present as well as discuss current issues related to women leading in the home.
Women in Church Leadership
Have you ever wondered if God calls men and women to serve as equal partners as leaders in the church? Have you read a passage in scripture and determined that women cannot serve in leadership in the church? If so, join us as we explore an overview in biblical, and contemporary views on the leadership roles of women in the church. We will examine the significant contributions women have made from the New Testament to the present as well as discuss current issues related to women in leadership ministry so that you can gain greater clarity on the role that God has for women within the church.
Pastoral Epistles - 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus
Have you sensed a desire to have a greater impact for the Kingdom of God? Have you heard God’s call at some point in your life to serve His church? If so, join us in this 8-week course designed for all who want to serve in a leadership role within church ministry. 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus are the letters of Paul the Apostle to his younger protégés, and are essential foundations for Christian leadership. This study through the Pastoral Epistles is the starting line to launch your calling as a shepherd after God’s heart.
Prayer & the Pauline Epistles
When Paul writes letters, he is writing every day, ordinary letters to real people in real cities trying to deal with the circumstances in which they’re living. He does want to deal with theological issues, but Paul is not writing theological treatises as much as he’s giving advice, instruction and encouragement for living and praying for the primary issues in the life of the early church. Join us in this 8-week course, as we will look at these letters, not as theologians or seminarians, but rather as if they were addressed to us as everyday working people who have encountered the truth of salvation and how it applies in day-to-day life.
Supernatural Ministry
Are you interested in learning more about how to partner with Jesus, specifically through the gifts, expressions, and authority of the Holy Spirit? Or maybe you want to grow in the understanding and practice of spiritual warfare? In the 8-week course, Supernatural Ministry, you’ll be exposed to biblical study, practical application, and the sharing of real-life ministry anecdotes. This course will help you to identify where Jesus is already at work in people’s lives so that you can understand more clearly, and experience more fully the powerful work of the Holy Spirit in your life.
Rule of Life
Feeling rushed, fatigued, overcommitted, anxious, irritable, out of control, or all of the above? Rather than being thoughtful, planned and intentional is your life simply happening to you? More to the point, does the person in the mirror look more like Jesus or the world around you? While your intentions are likely good, as the old adage goes, “the road to hell is paved with good intentions.” Perhaps what you’re missing is a rule of life. We’ll explore what a rule, not rules, of life is, how to put one together and how it just may be the key to unlocking the life “to the full” Jesus invites us into.
The Book of Romans
Have you ever wondered how the whole Bible ties together, or the main point of it all; and further, how it relates to your salvation, purpose, and daily life? The Epistle to the Romans provides the most concise overview of God’s plan for His people through the ages. As the favorite book of many Biblical scholars and theologians, Romans is also one of the most profound books ever written. This study will challenge and grow your faith as a Be-Something and Do-Something Christian!
Pastoral Ministry: A Primer
Have you been wanting to grow in understanding the Pastoral Biblical and Theological Themes? Do you feel a call to shepherd and lead God’s people through Pastoring? Pastoral Ministry – a Primer will focus on the formation of the pastoral identity as a spiritual shepherd. This course will help you to understand basic principles that are essential to become an effective pastor as well as discover the bases and nature of this calling. You will also learn how to cultivate personal vibrancy in your relationship with God so that you can produce the life-giving leadership and ministry to others that God intends.
