The Abiding Place
A Little "Peace" of Heaven
The Abiding Place Retreat and Conference Center is located  -  deep in the heart of Texas - and you are just a short drive away from a premier retreat and conference center dedicated to the vision of seeing God do a fresh work deep in the heart of His people. 

Have you ever asked yourself...
  • How can I find a greater expression of God's presence in my life?
  • How do I develop a more intimate relationship with my God?
  • Is there more to the Christian life than what I am experiencing now?
  • What does it mean to be created in the image of God?

> To answer these questions we must move beyond how much we know and begin to examine how we live.

>For the one who is willing to take a deeper look into their heart, God promises to reveal Himself in new and fresh ways.

"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me." John 15:4

"...for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."  Hebrews 11:6
