Our Purpose

Streams Retreat Center exists to provide a place where God can continue His work of growth and restoration in Christ Followers through retreats, both personal and in groups, as well as gatherings with family and friends. This is best accomplished in a serene setting, surrounded by the beauty of creation, away from distractions and the busyness of life. Christ Himself drew away from the crowds for time with the Father, and in Mark 6:31, He invited His disciples to come with Him to a quiet place and rest for a while. In Jeremiah 29, God tells us if we seek Him with all our heart, we will find Him. SRC provides a place of sacred serenity where those in Christ can draw nearer to Him.

Statement of Faith

  • We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.

  • We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

  • We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

  • We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.

  • We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

  • We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

  • We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Sandra Traver

The Retreat Center is dedicated to Dr. Richard Bush, a humble servant of God who dedicated his life to helping others be spiritually formed by the nature and character of Jesus. Dr. Bush served as a pastor and then in ministry leaderhip training for several decades.  He impacted many lives for Christ before he went home to be with the Lord in 2020. One of the key ways God worked through Richard to bring spiritual growth in others was through a series of retreats known as Life on Life Formation. 

Sandra Traver is the founder and Director of the SRC. After years of leading women's ministry she was given an opportunity to participate in Dr. Bush’s training. Shortly after, she sensed God leading her to open the Center.  Her passion is to provide the same type of retreats so others can experience all God desires to do in them and through them. She has a BA in Christian Ministry, has coordinated and facilitated retreats for over 15 years, is certified to teach Life on Life Formation, and is currently completing a certification in Spiritual Direction.
