SACRAMENTO 2013
In the spirit of Christian hospitality,
Sacramento welcomes all who come to
our mountaintop setting. We seek to
encourage spiritual discoveries by
offering each group and individual
Christian acceptance,
caring service,
and opportunities for life
transformation.
Thank you for your interest in Sacramento. Enclosed you will find most of the information you
need to schedule an event at our conference and retreat center. Sacramento is available for
groups of all sizes and age levels, families, weddings, reunions, business retreats, etc. This
peaceful and inspirational setting is ideal for workshops and spiritual retreats, whether your
group is large, small, or you come as an individual. Our campus is nestled in the Sacramento
Mountains, surrounded by beautiful hills and pine trees. The tranquil setting abounds with
mountain wildlife, and has a pleasant climate year-round. At 7,500 feet elevation, Sacramento is
a beautiful and comfortable change from desert southwest cities nearby. El Paso is 130 miles
away, Las Cruces only 100 miles, and Albuquerque 220 miles. All of West Texas as far east as
the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex can reach our mountains in a day’s drive or less.
As you will see in the information provided, we have facilities available for most types of
groups. Whether you are planning for a large or small group, we will help you make
your stay memorable. For your assistance, the following steps may be useful in
scheduling your stay at Sacramento:
Determine the desired dates for your event, with alternative dates if possible.
Determine your lodging needs, based on group size and lodging preferences.
Determine your needs for meetings, recreation, and other activities.
Visit our web site at www.sacramentoassembly.org to get a feel for what’s
available.
Contact our office to discuss your needs and check availability:
1-800-667-3414 Send a $100 booking fee to hold the date selected. *
Sign and return the Group Contract and Hold Harmless Agreement by
Deadline requested (your event is not officially booked until Sacramento
receives these signed documents.)
Submit an additional deposit of 10% of your estimated group invoice which is
due 90 days prior to your event.*
Contact Sacramento regularly as questions arise and your planning proceeds.
We can often save you time and energy if you communicate with us by phone
or e-mail ([email protected]). We’re glad to help. This allows
us to prepare in advance to help your event succeed!
The final payment for your event is due upon check-out.
