Planning for your Retreat at the CRC.

what you need to know:

The various kinds of retreats that come to the CRC can be divided into two basic categories:

HOSTED RETREAT - These are planned and executed by church groups, staffs, or other groups or individuals for which the CRC provides the meals and/or venue.  eg: ACTS, Church Staff, School Students, Marriage Encounter, Private, etc.

CRC SPONSORED RETREAT - The CRC provides for all aspects of the event; planning, marketing, presenters, director, etc. as well as providing the venue.  eg: RCIA, Confirmation, Seasonal and Religious Themes, etc.

(Occasionally, events/retreats are co-sponsored by the CRC together with another group.  eg: Faith into Fire, John Michael Talbot, etc.) 

If you are planning a hosted retreat for your church or organization and would like to check CRC availability for the dates you prefer, please call our office at (281) 337-1312 between the hours of 9 and 5, Tuesday through Friday, or Saturday, 9 to 1, and we will gladly assist you with up-to-date information on the availability of the most suitable venue to meet your needs.
