Weekend Getaway Marriage Conference – Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON
Feb 28 - Mar 2, 2025
What is a Weekend Getaway?
The Weekend Getaway is a marriage conference uniquely designed to enrich your relationship. For most couples it’s a chance to reconnect, re-establish the foundation and rekindle romance. For others, it’s a fresh start. For some, it will be the weekend that saves a marriage.
Wherever you’re at in your relationship, this retreat is a weekend to remember. The atmosphere is relaxed and warm, even fun. You’ll hear from real couples doing real life together… God’s way. You’ll be given time to process what you’re learning, just between the two of you (there’s no group sharing expected). And together, you’ll make a plan for a marriage that lasts a lifetime.

Speakers
Che & Shireen Spencer
Che and Shireen married in 2003 with great expectations of a life of fun and adventure! Life has certainly been an adventure, although not always fun! Che is in the film and television industry and Shireen is a pastor, teacher and business owner. They have been involved in marriage ministry since 2006 in the local church and with FamilyLife Canada since 2018. Che loves the water and the snow and anything outdoors. Shireen prefers instead to visit with friends, or lose herself in a good book or some great music. While in Jamaica this year, they both ziplined for the first, and the very last time! They stay busy trying to keep up with their two boys who are active in sports and music.
Dave & Rushia Klassen
Dave and Rushia first met on a college campus in Kelowna, BC. During a bus ride Dave knew Rushia was the girl he was going to marry and Rushia knew Dave was the guy she should stay away from. Three years later they were married. Over their 34 years together, they’ve been teachers in Northern Saskatchewan, travelled to 25 countries, parented 5 athletic children, and welcomed in-laws and a granddaughter into the family. Dave leads Athletes in Action nationally and Rushia is the Women’s Pastor for Central Heights church in Abbotsford, BC.
