Restoring the Family

Why a Retreat Center?

As the family goes, so goes the nation, and the American family is crumbling under constant attack.  In the worst cases, we see abuse, neglect, alcoholism, drugs, domestic violence, and ultimately divorce. Even in the best cases, we find families stressed out, lacking in time and finances, trying to keep a roof over their head, and meals on the table. Many families are 90 days from homelessness. Without a doubt, families are pressed and pushed from all sides. Wouldn’t it be nice to escape all that, if only for a few days? We thought so, thus the vision and dream behind this ministry was born. Our goal is to take us back to a simpler time, a place of rest, relaxation, and peace that will glorify God and minister to our guests.

What is the Retreat?

The Retreat at Cedar Hill is a place of Biblical sabbath, surrounded by Jesus Christ, free from society’s pressure to perform. An across-the-board ministry, returning our community to the forgotten truth which has worked for millennia, the nuclear family is the unquestioned building block of society.  Here you can find a place to unwind, swim, hike, ride your horses or ATVs, camp, and enjoy bonfires all in a Christian environment. This is a place where the serenity of nature can be found, and the voice of God can be heard without the noise of daily life. In this environment, children are safe and are encouraged to be kids.

Rules Of Use

    Everything we do here is centered around Jesus Christ. You are here as His honored guest. We are but the managers of His work and property here at Cedar Hill. We hold in trust, for future generations, this ministry to families and children. To set a proper example to children of how to do life, and to ensure this remains decidedly Christian, the following rules of use apply:

    • Conduct oneself at all times in a way that honors Christ.

    • Without exception, no drugs, alcohol, or nicotine products of any kind, including but not limited to the use of marijuana for any reason. Anyone under the influence will be asked to leave or evicted off the property.

    • Due to the facilitation of children's ministries at The Retreat at Cedar Hill, registered sex offenders are not allowed on the property without exception.

    • Cedar Hill Ministries believes the Bible defines marriage as the union between one man and one woman. Therefore, we do not accept the lifestyle of the LGBTQ+ community. Couples must be married and of opposite birth gender to use any overnight accommodations. (We reserve the right to deny anyone a site or cabin at any time for any reason.)

    • The speed limit on the property for all motorized vehicles is 15 miles per hour. Use of ATVs, dirt bikes, and side by sides are permitted in designated areas during the hours of 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Operating motor vehicles in a reckless or unsafe manner will result in the suspension of privileges up to and including immediate removal from the property.

    • Water is dangerous, thousands of people drown every year. Use of the ponds, lake, or watercraft is at your own risk. No lifeguard is provided. Parents MUST accompany children anytime they are near, in, or on the water. Anyone in a boat, canoe, or kayak must wear a life preserver.

    • While we support the right to bear arms, discharging a firearm anywhere else but the gun range is prohibited and grounds for immediate removal from property. Local open and concealed carry laws apply.

    • We ask that all guests wear at minimum modest shorts and t-shirts. Please, no bare midriffs, topless men or boys, no bathing suits.

    • Bee, mosquito, tick, or other insect bites can cause severe and adverse reactions or disease, up to and including death. Stay out of long grass, and the underbrush. The use of repellent is suggested.

    • There are many forms of wildlife in the Upper Peninsula. While some can be dangerous, most of them avoid human interaction. Do not approach any animals you may encounter. Keep both food and garbage picked up to discourage four-legged visitors.

    • We love your four-legged furry friends, keep them on a leash at all times, clean up after them
    please.
