What We Do

Personalized Sabbaticals

Cedar Creek Ministries offers many ways for church leaders to find time to rest and relax. Leaders need rest on a regular basis, but also times to get away from the demands of full-time ministry.

Biblical Counseling and Debriefing

With all the demands full-time ministry brings, we want to help families in leadership protect their relationships. We offer burnout prevention plans and connect you with biblical counselors to keep family relationship strong.

Leadership Development

Through personal, leadership, or organization development we help Christians live out their God-given vision and direction for their church or ministry with joy and purpose.

Join us in serving those who lead

The Apostle Paul said "honor those who are your leaders in the Lord’s work. They work hard among you and give you spiritual guidance." We believe God has appointed those who serve as ministers to be worthy of double honor for all they give. Our goal is to help you to serve those who faithfully serve others.

GET INVOLVED

Support a family sabbatical

On average it costs Cedar Creek Ministries $1500 to rest a family for 5-7 days. This rest and time away from daily life refreshes and reboots families to be able to go back into their communities and walk out God's call with excitement.

DONATE

Support a ministry leader

With just $100 a month you can support a pastor, missionary or ministry leader in biblical counseling or leadership development to support both the mental health and continual training of our spiritual leaders.

“Ministry has been the hardest thing we've done. We are ready for a break and time to just get with Jesus and find rest for our souls. We are deeply grateful.”


– Dana

“We have seen firsthand how one good pep talk can help a pastor or missionary keep on track when ministry feels overwhelming and impossible.”


– Nickole Perry, Co-Founder

Cabin 1 Booked this Summer!

What do we do when people don't catch our vision?

By Nickole Perry • 21 Mar, 2023
“Well, no, this couldn’t be from God, that’s definitely not it. You sure are lucky, though.” Words from a relative that sting as we share that God sent a work team to help us build cabin #2! “We just think your vision is too big and you are doing too many things. We can’t financially get behind you at this time.” Words from a church board member we attended for 15+ years. Sometimes the people who know you and love you, just DON’T GET IT! It’s painful. It’s awful. In your worst moments it makes you question all the aspects of ministry you know God has led you to walk out. But I encourage you (and me somedays) to remember: Some people understand what you are doing instantly. Some people will come alongside you at different points in your journey. Some people are called to support other people’s vision. God called lots of His people to do radical things. Gideon, David, Noah and Abraham were all called to do big things, go far away places and I’m betting many people didn’t get it and we KNOW many people didn’t follow! So, go ahead and be a Kingdom builder. Be a disciple of Jesus Christ who makes disciples who make disciples. Obey God’s Word. Be Transformed. The gate is narrow! Stay on your path!! If you are encouraging people in the Lord and walking in a manner worthy of the calling, then you have it right. Not everyone will understand and not everyone will go with you!! Go Anyway! Thank you so much for sharing your time with us. Cedar Creek Ministries is funded by Christians and churches who believe in the call to offer our leaders the double portion! If you feel the desire to make sure all those men and women called to serve God in missions and ministry have everything they need to personally rest, restore family relationships and revive ministry vision, consider joining us in continual prayer and financial support!! Don’t forget to like us on Facebook for our live videos and follow us on Instagram for weekly encouragement!
