“When I called, you answered me; you increased my strength within me.”
Psalms 138:4


The mission of CREDO is to provide opportunities for clergy to examine significant areas of their lives and to discern prayerfully the future direction of their vocation as they respond to God’s call in a lifelong process of practice and transformation.

CREDO is more than an eight-day conference. Through the strength of a holistic approach to wellness, participants are invited to examine their minds, bodies, spirits, and hearts by examining four significant areas of their lives – spiritual, vocational, health, and financial.

The Latin word, CREDO, can be translated as “I believe,” but it has a much deeper meaning. Literally translated, it means, “I give my heart.” CREDO encourages participants to rediscover the passionate essence of their life and ministry in the context of their faith, their relationships, and community.

The CREDO experience provides a profound opportunity for participants to reflect on their journey, discern God’s presence and calling deep within themselves, and renew, reaffirm, and recommit their passion and conviction for their authentic vocation.


CREDO's Core Values

"Core values are the essential and enduring tenets of an organization. A small set of timeless guiding principles, core values require no external justification, they have intrinsic value and importance."
James C. Collins and Jerry I. Porras, Harvard Business Review

CREDO is:

* An intentional Christ-centered community
* A work of the heart, mind, body and spirit
* A living stream with a sustainable spirit
* A four-step life cycle process of identity, discernment, practice, and transformation
