Making Room
Capital Campaign for the Retreat at Church Creek
Make Room, Serve More
Help us make room for more pastors and ministry leaders to live well and finish strong.
To date, the Retreat at Church Creek has served almost 1,700 ministry leaders from across the nation through retreats and exceeded our goal of hosting 50+ retreats in a single-year in 2023.
With 44% of leaders who attend our retreats facing burnout and at risk of leaving ministry altogether, we are encouraged that more than 97% report their experience at the Retreat at Church Creek as either “life changing” (51%) or “very helpful” (46%).
However, since our facility was originally built as a single family home, the Retreat at Church Creek has significant limitations in our ability to serve more leaders, more often. The county now require us to be rezoned as a commercial property and the work needs to be completed by August 31st. While we close for those essential repairs and upgrades, we are also taking the opportunity to make other improvements to our guest experience.
To achieve our mission of serving 10,000 pastors in five years, we’re embarking on a full remodel and facility upgrade with enhancements spanning additional bedrooms and bathrooms to increase sleeping capacity, implementing a full commercial kitchen, ADA updates, HVAC overhaul, and more to ensure the comfort for our guests.
​Join us in helping leaders be well so they can build well.
