What is a Five Day Academy?  It is a program of Upper Room Ministries, providing an opportunity for clergy and laity to deepen their relationship with God through a daily rhythm of prayer, worship, learning and reflection. Each day includes teachings by gifted spiritual leaders, periods of silence, morning and evening prayer, Eucharist, covenant groups and community time. Time for rest and recreation are also part of each day. 

• A time for intentional spiritual growth in a disciplined community of prayer, study, worship, and fellowship
• A place where times are set aside for silence to enhance personal prayer and reflection
• A life-changing experience for both laity and clergy to be shaped and formed in the image of Christ for the sake of others
• An opportunity to experience a daily contemplative rhythm of morning prayer, night prayer and Eucharist
• A vessel for healing, rest and renewal
