Guest Guidelines
May you experience the peace and joy of Christ, as well as rest and renewal during your time at WCRC. The rooms are absent from the everyday distractions of life (such as phones, tv, etc.) to encourage time for Bible study, prayer, and fellowship. We invite you to incorporate the use of the hiking trails and recreational options into your event as well.
