About

Cedar Cross Retreat Center exists to provide a place for rest, reflection, and renewal. All are welcome.

Cedar Cross Retreat Center is a ministry of Covenant Community Church of Raleigh, NC. We are a small ecumenical church offering a participatory form of worship that invites lively involvement by all members. The work and spiritual formation of the retreat center is facilitated by the Cedar Cross Mission Group, a subset of Covenant Community Church.

The mission group meets monthly at the retreat center for a day of work, prayer, play, planning, and being with friends. Anyone interested in supporting the mission of Cedar Cross is invited to Community Day. Please inquire for more information.

History

John and Margaret Hilpert are the founders of Cedar Cross. Since the early years of a small cabin on the rough land, Cedar Cross has continued to be a vibrant place of quiet growth and dynamic nature.
