Returning Churches
Cristo Libertador: 15 Years and Counting
Pastor Ingrid Sanchez
“That's where I've fought my hardest battles…and also received my greatest blessings.”
Pastor Ingrid Sanchez
Cristo Libertador
When Cristo Libertador first came to Singing Hills, they did not have a clear framework for stepping away to seek God deeply. Weekly services carried the noise and weight of everyday ministry. There was desire for something deeper, and no dedicated space for uninterrupted pursuit.
That first retreat changed the pattern. Pastor Ingrid described God's presence as tangible. It was not driven by someone else's program. It was space to be fully present with God. One annual gathering became a rhythm. Today the church still returns for the large gathering, and Pastor Ingrid also brings smaller groups multiple times per year for focused prayer.
Women tell her, "When you go back, don't leave me behind." Other retreat centers did not feel the same. For this church, Singing Hills became the place they return to out of need, not tradition alone.

The First Encounter
That first retreat became the beginning. God's presence felt tangible in a way she had not known before.
Battles and Breakthrough
In hard seasons she returned with small groups of women. The same place held both the fight and the blessing.
A Place You Long For
Passing the road that leads here still moves her. The longing is for time with God, clarity, and peace.
