REV. RON AND BETH CARLSON
Rev. Ron and Beth Carlson started their blended family 28 years ago. Ron is the Treasurer and Director of Administrative Services for the Iowa Annual Conference. Beth is the Executive Administrative Assistant to the Bishop. They are parents of 4 adult children and grandparents of 3.
They have together participated in many marriage ministries and couple studies. Bringing to each event, the time for couples to spend time together and find ways to connect. Ron and Beth have had couples return to classes just because their relationship had improved and strengthened so much the first time. Their expertise comes in the way that they bring the Lord and Love together into your relationship.
The Carlson’s ask the question, “Where are you at in your marriage?”
They hope to give you the opportunity to leave all the outside things that pull us apart outside the retreat. Beth shares her desire for the retreat, “we hope that you will join us inside the camp for this weekend of learning, growing, and connecting in our relationships, but also to have fun together. We feel that it is important to take the time to be a couple.”
