About MCCR
It all started when…
Horace and Retta Heathman of Mt. Calm, TX set aside 20 acres of land and built a retreat center designed to help adults and students disconnect from the hurried pace of modern life and reconnect with their Creator by studying His Word.
Mount Calm Christian Retreat was officially launched in 2006 and has hosted Christian church youth retreats, men’s and women’s Bible studies, small group retreats, church staffs and elder boards for the purpose of Biblical spiritual growth and encouragement.
Many who have visited the peaceful surroundings of MCCR have drawn closer to God and experienced His love and grace.
Currently, Mount Calm Christian Retreat is a registered 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization with an independent board of directors that oversees and manages its daily operations. The heart of the MCCR leadership has not changed from when it was originally founded in 2006 - to serve as a place where followers of Jesus can slow down and learn how to listen to His voice and study His Word.
Mount Calm Christian Retreat is available to use for anyone that professes faith in Jesus Christ as God, follows Him, and lives by His commands and direction in alignment with what The Bible says. For a clearer explanation on this definition, please read from Scripture the following: John 14-15; 1 John 2 and 5; Ephesians 1-6; Philippians 1-4; Titus 2:11-14; Colossians 1:15-23; 1 Peter 1:3-10, 13-23a)
We sincerely hope you will come see us and enjoy this special place!
