common questions
Will childcare be provided?
Our hope is that this will be a time for you to "get away" and be free from distraction so you can receive all God has for you. We ask that you refrain from bringing your children to the retreat out of respect for others. However, we have compiled a group of childcare volunteers who have agreed to provide childcare at a discounted rate. Please connect with them directly.
What should I bring?
Just yourself and your spouse. We'll provide everything else!
Are there any extra fees, or does my registration cover everything?
All meals and refreshments are covered by your registration fee.
Do I have to register now, or can I do it at the door?
We strongly encourage you to register early as the conference is likely to reach capacity.
Are there any discounted hotel rates available?
Yes. If you're interested in staying at the hotel, we have a block of rooms reserved at a discounted rate.
Simply go online or call (314) 231-8100, and give them this Group # 2347177
Rate: $100 per room
Do I have to be a member of UCFC to attend the retreat?

"Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church."
