Prayer Resources!

The Center for Prayer Renewal offers retreats focusing on meditation, personal Bible study, and worship. Attendance of both lay people and Pastors is encouraged. Join an already scheduled retreat or plan one specifically for your group's schedule.

'The CPR retreat has changed the way I pray and worship. I have found deeper prayer and more constant awareness of God’s presence in my life. I pray all the time, even in meetings, at work, and while going about my daily activities. As a result, my relationship with Christ is deeper than it has ever been. The meditation on the Scriptures portion was also very helpful and I found that even familiar passages have new meaning and application in the daily walk as a Christian.' - Retreat attendee.

If your congregation, church, or group would like to utilize this resource, please contact one of the following CPR Leadership Team:
