THE CROSS MINISTRY GROUP

Christian Spiritual Retreats that Transform Lives

A powerful encounter with God awaits you. The intensive, experiential weekend retreats of The Cross Ministry Group are Christ-centered settings designed intentionally to help you experience the truth of God’s Word and His Presence in your life. We explore blocks that inhibit our connections to others and to His power and love. We provide opportunity to discover truths that usher us into freedom and authenticity as we are liberated to embrace more fully the truth of who we are in Christ.

We invite you to come and be open to experience what God has for you.

Over 7000 men, women and couples from 46 states and Canada have attended our weekends.

TESTIMONIALS

Participants Share Their Experience at The Cross Ministry Group Retreats

I first attended Men at the Cross in the winter of 2012. It was surely an eye-opening experience for me. I had never been exposed to anything like it and I’m so thankful that a Christian brother cared enough about me to share about his Men at the Cross experience and to invite me to attend. For the first time in my Christian life, I discovered how I have been living falsely through my false selves of a performer, withdrawer, and judge, among many others. …

What Are You Leashed To?

She barks as they come towards her, turning her head, barking as they pass by her!

We only had an inkling of what we were in for. Our first CATC weekend was summer 2017, and early on in the weekend we asked each other, “Can we do this every year?” We have not missed a chance to staff CATC Central ever since! Initially, we desired more of each others’ full presence and attention. Then, we were drawn to the rewards of fellowship, being healed in community. But it was the fun which ultimately hooked us. The playful, collegial spirit of CATC from the beginning let us know we could lay down our performance fears, our perfectionism, even the desire to be perfectly understood and accepted, and enjoy each other in the context of deepening spiritual friendship.

Rhythm of Rest

“I don’t want to ‘Mom’ today.” This was my first thought upon waking one morning this past week, and this was after a decent night of sleep! I am a middle aged, part-time working, mom with multiple children from elementary ages through teens at home. I immediately judged this internal dialogue. Why wasn’t I jumping out of bed, feet hitting the floor, ready to conquer the day? Maybe, just maybe, it’s because I’m attempting to do it all in my own strength and not engaging my world in a posture that includes rhythms of rest.
