About Military Veterans for Christ
Our Mission
Military Veterans for Christ provides military personnel (all active duty, reserve, inactive and retirees) with weekend spiritual retreats, access to faith formation resources, access to any and all federal government resources for dissemination of entitled veteran services and benefits, for involvement within their community through other activities, to develop a network of peers and for their personal healing and growth.
MVFC Veterans Retreat
If you’ve ever thought about going on a retreat but weren’t sure if it was for you… you’re not alone. Most of the veterans who attend our retreat felt the same way at first.
November 5–8, 2026
El Shaddai Ranch – Yorktown, TX
$220 per person
For both men and women
It’s time set aside to reconnect with Christ, to be around other veterans who understand, and to finally slow down and listen to what God may be trying to do in your life.
As you go through the retreat, you’ll start to realize you’re not alone. There are other veterans just like you, carrying similar things.
A lot of veterans come in unsure… and leave glad they came.
If someone or something has put this in your heart, don’t ignore it.
That may be God calling you.

Help Us Place a Wreath. Help Us Keep a Promise.
At Military Veterans for Christ, we believe remembrance is not just an act — it is a ministry.
Every wreath placed is a prayer.
Every name spoken is an act of love.
Every moment of remembrance is a reflection of Christ’s call to honor, serve, and never forget.
This season, we invite you to stand with us as we honor our fallen heroes at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery through Wreaths Across America. These men and women served our nation with courage — now we serve them with gratitude.
Whether you are honoring a loved one, a fellow veteran, or a hero you never met, your sponsorship ensures that no grave is left without a wreath and no sacrifice is forgotten.

A Word From Our Heart
We do this because Christ teaches us that no love is greater than to lay down one’s life for another. These heroes lived that truth. We place wreaths to make sure their legacy lives on.
Thank you for helping us Remember the Fallen, Honor Those Who Serve, and Teach the Next Generation — through faith, service, and gratitude.
