Bring your group to the Spirit Center, nestled in picturesque Bluntzer, Texas and disconnect from the distractions of the world and reconnect with God.

Why are retreats important?

A spiritual retreat is an integral part of the Christian community. A retreat is an ideal way to get closer to God. It can help a person to rediscover his/her faith. Group church retreats can bring the faithful together, helping them bond with each other, and with the Church. Retreats often include several group activities to bring everyone together. The Spirit Center is special because it allows participants to connect with nature in appreciation and enjoyment of God's many gifts. Connecting with nature brings about an environmental consciousness and appreciation of everyday things.

“A retreat center gives you an avenue to have someone remind you that you bring things to the table. That God made you for his purpose.”
— Ed Schetzsle
