"Be still,
    and
     know
      that
        I am
      God"

Psalm 46:10

The Chapel is a newly renovated space for Sunday worship and for use by retreat groups. Two additional bedrooms are in this building, each with two sets of bunkbeds, as well as a kitchen and a full bathroom.

Come and commune with God and nature on 12 acres in farm country!

Enjoy a 12 acre farm site. The Spirituality Center includes an early 20th century two story Sears brick farm house, a 3 bedroom cabin, a barn, fire pit, volley ball area, and pond. Both houses are fully stocked for convenience with modern kitchens, bed linens, and air conditioning.

The Persell House is an ideal place to host a vestry day, staff building day, or an overnight retreat. The center provides a tranquil setting for private retreats for clergy and spouses/partners.

Built in 1902, the Persell House was ordered from Sear's Catalogue. It's oak molding and front porch swing evoke a time of simple life style, and quiet contemplation.

Reserve the property for your retreat. Liturgical supplies are available for your use. For more information, please call the church office at 815-725-6800, or e-mail your request to secretary@secec.net

Christ Campus

The Great Barn completes the spiritual
center buildings. With the labyrinth
     painted on the barn floor and a hoop
       for shooting baskets, the barn offers
        ample opportunities for physical
        activity even during incliment
         weather.

All are Welcome to Belong and Become
