Who We Are


The Waller Urban Retreat Center is a space dedicated to fostering community, connection, and growth. Our mission is to provide safe, inclusive, and affordable accommodations for organizations, groups, and individuals seeking a place to retreat, collaborate, or make a positive impact.

Guided by our vision of a more just and sustainable future, we stand for inclusivity, community empowerment, and environmental stewardship. At Waller Center, we hope to inspire meaningful change through every gathering, event, or stay.

The Waller Urban Retreat Center is operated by the Board of Camping and Retreat Ministries of the California-Nevada Conference of the United Methodist Church.
