A place of learning, spiritual nurture and renewal

Naramata Centre is a place for all ages – children, youth, young adults, adults and elders. Inspiring programs, welcoming hospitality, sacred space and passionate community make Naramata Centre a sacred place of the Spirit.

The Restore, Refresh, Create Campaign has begun and will continue through 2010. We invite everyone who is passionate about the Centre to contribute to the Campaign to the best of your ability. Together we will create the Centre’s future!

Naramata Centre invites people to create community in which each person respects and cares for one another, where all are valued, welcomed and safe. For those who need a time of retreat to heal, rest or renew, the Centre offers a welcoming embrace. Naramata Centre offers these experiences, along with tools and support for people to make a difference in the world.

Since its beginning in 1947, the Centre has equipped people to provide leadership in the United Church and has led the way in experiential learning. People and congregations are supported and nurtured through programs in leadership development, spiritual nurture and healing, inspiring worship and music, and the experience of Christian community life.

Our vision for the Centre’s future is to be a vibrant contributor to the spiritual well-being of the people … Our goal is to provide spiritual nurture and training that is meaningful in today’s world. …

The Centre’s founders had a dream and built the place we all love and cherish today. People gave because they were inspired … Our current dream is just as compelling. Please join us in renewing the Centre. By giving your gift now, future generations will grow and be renewed at Naramata Centre.
