Christian Renewal Center

Christian Renewal Center (CRC) is a place set apart for the renewing of God's people that their lives might bring greater glory and honor to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. CRC was founded in 1970 by Pastor Allan and Eunice Hansen and continues to be a family ministry, carried on by Tim, Julie and Peter Hansen. Christian Renewal Center has been the fulfillment of a life long dream of providing a place of spiritual refreshment for people thirsty for more of God. Through the generosity of many dear friends and the labor of countless volunteers it has grown from 10 acres of raw forest land to its present 40 acre campus. CRC is a warm, cozy conference center located on beautiful forest land next to Silver Falls State Park, 15 miles SE of Silverton and 30 miles SE of Salem, Oregon. We are dedicated to the glory of God, and serving the Body of Christ through guest group facilities and retreat programs. The Staff team is committed to serve you in every way possible and it is our goal to have your stay here be an enjoyable and edifying experience.

Christian Renewal Center is a story that amazes us because we started with the dream of one lodge somewhere in the mountains of California. How that dream was transferred to Oregon and has grown to include forty acres and fourteen buildings causes us to stand in awe of God's wondrous works and ways.

CRC is beautifully situated in the foothills of the Cascades Mountains and just a mile away from the spectacular Silver Falls State Park. We are easy to find and just ninety minutes south of Portland.

You'll love all of our lodges! Each one has a unique style and character. We offer linens for an additional fee.
