Choose a location 

Choosing a location that will properly accommodate the retreat as well as provide the amenities needed to accompany this event is important.  One thing is for sure, not all Retreat & Conference Centers are created equally!

While a hotel may be appealing, chances are your event won’t have the same intimate appeal that you’re hoping for.  A Christian Conference & Retreat Center can provide you with the convenience of service & amenities in an atmosphere that allows you to focus on your attendees. 

Finding a place that offers motel style rooms – will help each Couple to feel right at home.  Midwest Christian Retreat Properties provide full linen service in our private Motel rooms.  Couples shouldn’t have to worry about bringing linens with them! Daily room service ensures that that comfort & cleanliness are a priority of ours! 

Meeting space is another important factor.  Our spacious meeting rooms have comfortable chairs & full array of audio visual equipment available to you at no additional charge – this ensures that your speakers are happy, putting them at their best for your attendees.  (Another benefit of a Conference & Retreat Center….at a hotel you will pay per item, per meeting room for audio visual equipment, this can eat through your budget fast!)

Because all of our properties are “all-inclusive”, we have highly trained Chef’s preparing all of your meals.  Our three buffet style meals each day provide a wide variety of selections – sure to please everyone in your group J  For that special evening, Banquets are the perfect upgrade to your package.

A wide variety of recreational opportunities await you at each of our properties.  Allowing that important rest & relaxation time is essential for your attendees.  A morning work-out, swim, racquetball or an evening soak in the Hot Tub is the perfect way to end the day. Make sure to allow time in the day for Couples to enjoy themselves!

Sometimes the venue is just “the place” where your event is held, other times it is the place that enhances your event. We believe that Christian Hospitality is what sets us apart from other properties.  We not only want to provide you the physical space you need, but also the opportunity for your attendees to Restore, Renew & Reconnect.
