Christ’s Peace House of Prayer

A sabbatical retreat provides an opportunity to come away for a longer period of prayer, rest, and renewal for one month to a year.  Sabbatical guests are invited to share meals and daily periods of prayer with the staff and other guests, or to take a time of complete silence and solitude other than signing in once a day.

We look forward to the possibility of welcoming you as a sabbatical guest!  In order to help us serve you, if you plan on staying one month or more please copy and paste the application below into an email, fill it out and send it to us at info@christspeace.com.  A person to person interview will be requested once availability is confirmed.  Feel free to call with any questions: 913-773-8255.
