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.

But WHY?
How about these , “Need anything? Anything I can do for you? How can I support you?”
“I’m ok, but thanks. Nothing comes to mind. I’m good.”
