IRS990/Desc0Retreat Center - Serenity's Retreat Center in Bellville, TX offers rest and respite for individuals, groups, pastors, leaders and missionaries. Overnight Personal Healing Retreats are Serenity Retreat's most popular type of retreat, during which an individual receives two sessions of Transformation Prayer Ministry (TPM) and is nourished both spiritually and physically. Group Retreats are offered to Christian organizations with similar values to host programs of their own in a peaceful setting outside of the city. Pastoral and Missionary Respites are offered to those in need at a discounted rate to help those who serve so sacrificially.
