What is CFO?
CFO IS AN INTERDENOMINATIONAL organization whose primary purpose is to renew minds, touch hearts and change lives by means of a uniquely inspired program format in retreat settings.
ROOTED IN PRAYER and focusing on the grace and mercy of God’s heart, CFO retreats will challenge you to be passionate about your faith and your commitment to live your life as a Christ-follower.
THE CFO DAY is built on the premise that just as we breathe in and out physically, our spiritual well- being is dependant on a similar structure -- taking and giving as we quietly listen to God and as we joyfully express our hearts.
CFO Is a Life-affirming retreat for you and your family
CFO TEACHES YOUhow to stretch and exercise your spiritual muscles, developing a stronger faith to become and live as God has planned for each of us.
IT IS OUR HOPE that from the first time you hear about CFO until you experience a retreat, you will see an organization that is devoted to Jesus Christ, pursuing the highest standards of excellence in both its events and interaction with you.
IT IS OUR HEART that you see through our example that we are living out, with a passion, our commitment to following God’s ways with a heart for you and your family.
Daily Activities
Morning Meditation: Beginning each day in a quiet time with God.
Singing: Spirit-filled and joyful worship.
Speaker: Sharing personal experiences and spiritual walk for inspiration.
Rhythms: Devotion in motion, using physical exercise as a means of experiencing wholeness of body, mind and spirit.
Creatives: Listening to God and allowing Him to create through you using art and writing.
Prayer Groups: Sharing our hearts in prayer with one another in communion with God.
Youth and Children
The youth program is similar to the adult’s, attending the talks, creatives, and rhythms. They have their own prayer group and afterglow with their leaders.
All minors must be accompanied by a parent or sponsor. Sponsors must bring a medical release form.
Children 3 to 11 will be cared for during the talks and prayer groups times. Parents or Sponsors are responsible at all other times.
Scholarships
Some scholarships are available to assist with the cost of room and board. Preference is given to first-time campers. Please contact the registrar for more information.
