About Decolores
-
DeColores Ministries is an interfaith Christian community dedicated to supporting fellow believers and encouraging non-believers to explore the Bible and Christianity.
Serving as gracious hosts, we offer separate retreats for men and women, creating safe and meaningful spaces for spiritual renewal. Through these transformational experiences, participants are encouraged to grow in their faith, deepen their understanding of the Bible, strengthen their relationship with Jesus Christ, and live out Christ’s love in their daily lives and through the local church.

DeColores was founded using the Catholic Cursillo method; and while that foundation remains strong, the ministry has grown and adapted since the first weekend in 1949, to better support and welcome an interfaith community. While the Catholic Cursillo is rooted in Catholic traditions and teachings, DeColores Ministries embraces ecumenical teachings and practices that bring together Christians across denominations. At the heart of both is a shared love for Jesus Christ and a commitment to living out the His teachings as our Lord and Savior.

DeColores Ministries of Grand Rapids is not a church, but we exist to support the Church. Our goals are threefold:
1. To present the truth and beauty of the Gospel of Jesus Christ through a short course in Christianity that unfolds during a weekend retreat.
2. To revive Christians in their discipleship journey and offer the opportunity to pay forward the gift of encouragement they receive on their weekend.
3. To encourage our members to become rooted in love and service in their local congregation, communities, and places of employment.
