About
Lake Williamson Christian Center, the St Louis region conference center in the Christian Retreats Network, has been a trusted name in Christian Hospitality for over 50 years. Our Christian conference center features year-round recreation and accommodations for up to 1,350 overnight guests.
Retreat packages include everything your group needs for a successful ministry event: lodging, dining, meeting, and recreation.
We strive to “serve one another in love” in the spirit of Galatians 5:13. Lake Williamson is as a place to restore, renew, and reconnect.
