MISSION STATEMENT
Cross Roads Camp and Retreat Center is a welcoming and inclusive community providing life changing and sacred adventures for renewal, growth, and joy.
We strive to:
- Facilitate renewal, healing, inspiration and transformation for the body, mind and spirit.
- Help individuals deepen their connection to themselves, others, the world we live in and God.
- Remind all who come of our beautiful and inextricable connection to the natural world.
- Create an ecumenical community of mutual acceptance, open exchange of ideas, reflection and unconditional love.
- Live an example of Heaven on Earth.
WELCOME STATEMENT
Cross Roads is a Reconciling in Christ (RIC) Partner Organization.
Cross Roads is committed to welcoming all people. In response to the biblical call to seek justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God (Micah 6:8) Cross Roads celebrates diversity and promotes equal opportunity regardless of age, disability, race, color, ethnicity, ancestry, religion, creed, national origin, economic capacity, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression, or gender identity.
Cross Roads will not tolerate behavior that harms people based on any of the above identities. Such behavior is antithetical to our values, our mission, and the teachings of Jesus Christ. In response to God’s radical love and grace, Cross Roads strives to create sacred adventures that celebrate, transform, and empower all people.
