The stone was rolled away… and hope walked out. ✝️

Because of Easter, we have hope that never fades and a love that never fails.

It’s retreat season and you can guarantee that people in your ministry group will be excited! Event planners are thrilled to see their retreats come to fruition while guests are eager for a weekend or week filled with activities and worship. However, those who have never experienced a retreat may not share that enthusiasm and will often come up with every excuse to avoid going. That’s where you can step in and encourage them to give it a chance!

The Crossing Retreat Center is a highlighted destination on Going on Faith, America's leading experts on faith-based group travel.

Located in Lexington, Nebraska, The Crossing Retreat Center is an easy-to-reach destination for groups from Nebraska, northern Kansas and the Omaha metro area. The Crossing is close enough to be convenient yet far enough away to feel like a true escape. Groups love that unmistakable sense of “getting away” during their event!

The Crossing Retreat Center is a recently renovated retreat venue, perfect for groups looking to "get away" in the Upper Midwest.

In 2025, Lake Williamson celebrated 65 years of ministry! đź’—

As we looked back with gratitude, we also looked forward. We took this milestone as the opportunity to refresh our look and continue growing in the mission God has given us.

So introducing... the new Lake Williamson Christian Center logo!

Sunday evenings can feel heavy as we prepare for the week ahead. But know that God’s presence today carries into tomorrow! Whether it’s worship, prayer, or gathering with your church family, let Sunday service remind you that God is already in your Monday. Cast your cares on Him, and step into the new week with confidence.
