2026 Branson Retreat

2026 Branson Retreat

Aug. 31-Sept. 3, 2026

Thousand Hills Resort Hotel, Branson, MO

Registration opens February 16, 2026.

Join us in Branson for four days of worship, fellowship and fun as we mark the 20th year of Abundant Living Retreats. For two decades, God has used Abundant Living Retreats to encourage, inspire and equip His people, and this year promises to be especially meaningful. Our theme, “People After God’s Own Heart,” will lead us through the life of David as we reflect on what it means to pursue God with faith, courage and devotion at every stage of life. A highlight of the retreat will be experiencing the powerful “David” production at the Sight & Sound Theater, where Scripture is brought to life in a breathtaking way. We hope you can join us, and bring a friend, this fall in Branson!

Shows

  • David Show (Sight and Sound Theatre): Master Poet. Fearless Warrior. Anointed King. The production focuses on the biblical story of David and Goliath. From still waters to shadowed valleys, David's ascent to the throne is filled with towering giants, wild animals, and Philistine soldiers. After unprecedented victories lead to devastating failures, this passionate warrior will face the biggest battle of all: the one within himself. Experience one of the most legendary Bible stories as it comes to life with spectacular special effects, massive sets, and live animals in this brand-new original stage production.

  • Clay Cooper's Country Express Show: Clay and his cast of 25 incredible entertainers show their versatility while performing all styles of music, including country, rock n roll, gospel, and patriotic. The singing, dancing, and hysterical comedy will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish! Clay and his gang guarantee a family-friendly show that is great for all ages! Clay Cooper's Country Express is MORE than country! In November and December, Clay Cooper's Country Express features an Ozark Mountain Christmas Celebration that has become a "MUST SEE" in Branson. The first half features highlights from our regular season show, and the second half is all Christmas!

  • "The Texas Tenors Show - Deep in the Heart of Christmas," is a sensational Branson show designed to bring out that feeling of a traditional family Christmas. Everyone loves to hear them any time of year; singing everything from country ballads to opera's favorite arias, but something about the amazing vocals displayed by "The Texas Tenors," with that incredible harmony, that sounds extra fabulous during the holidays! The Texas Tenors are the most successful music group and third highest selling artist in the history of America's Got Talent. In 2019, they were honored to be included among the top 50 acts in the world and the only vocal group from the United States invited to compete on NBC's prime time series "America's Got Talent: The Champions." There's truly no place like Branson for the holidays, and no show with quite the same appeal as "The Texas Tenors - Deep in the Heart of Christmas!"
