Why we're the summer retreat centre for your church family

September 2023

 

Summer is a time for relaxation, fun activities and holidays. What better way to combine those things than to get away with your congregation? Here are 3 reasons why we’re the summer retreat centre for your church family.

1. We have the space you need

With 2 large conference centres containing more than 100 acres of land combined, it’s safe to say we have the space for your church.

2. Our prices are all-inclusive

If you book with us, you’ll be delighted to know our price is all-inclusive. What does that mean? Here’s what’s included in our per-person per-night cost:

You can relax knowing everything is taken care of. All you need to focus on is enjoying your time away with your friends and family. This takes us to the last reason why we’re the summer retreat centre for your church.

3. Your ministry is important to us

For over 100 years we’ve been helping Christian groups promote their faith by enabling people to gather together. It’s important for you and your family to have a safe space to meet, learn, worship and pray and it’s our heart to encourage this.

Should you need communion glasses, we have them; looking for an outdoor space to worship in the sunshine, we have it; or need a quiet place for an early morning prayer meeting, it's yours.
