The Spiritual Renewal Center has been serving in central New York since September of 1978, when founder Jim Krisher with a small group of supporters opened the first Center on East Genesee St. in Syracuse. The Center was incorporated as a non-profit religious organization in November of 1979 and a governing board of trustees was formed. The ministry has moved several times since we began this work.

 

With Catholic and Ignatian roots, over decades we have grown into a diverse ecumenical ministry of spiritual formation which draws both believers and seekers. Those who participate in our offerings as well as those who minister here come from diverse backgrounds and denominations. The Center attracts people not only from our immediate area, but from distant places as well. With the continuing development of virtual media, our reach now extends around the United States and even draws participants from other countries.

 

We continually strive to maintain our hard-earned track record of quality Christian programming, and gifted staff and presenters. 

 

The Center is a peaceful place where anyone who seeks a deeper walk with God can find guidance for their journey, and wisdom for their soul. Comfortable lounge areas, classroom space, a magnificent lending library, and private conversation rooms have made the Center a great place to visit. 

 

This ministry has always been a grassroots endeavor, and the good work that is done is the result of both the labors of the people who work here and the labors of the wide community of believers who are involved here, and who support the Center through their participation, spiritual gifts, and financial support.
