Welcome!
Christian Conferences & Retreats
Hello from CBCC!
Founded in 1945 by Archie & Evangeline McNeil, Cannon Beach Conference Center has grown from its humble beginnings to one of the premier Christian retreat and conference centers on the West Coast. Welcoming more than 13,000 guests each year, CBCC is committed to providing a friendly, comfortable atmosphere where God’s people can find refreshment and renewal.
We are located on the spectacular north Oregon coast, 75 miles northwest of Portland in the beautiful resort town of Cannon Beach, consistently named one of the top ten beaches in the nation.
April through December we offer a variety of conferences for women, men, couples, retirees, military, families, etc. In addition to the great teaching and delicious food, we offer many entertaining activities. The excitement goes to another level in the summer with our week-long family conferences as we also enjoy increased sunshine and warmer temperatures. We call our summer conferences “a vacation with a purpose.” Our year-round, full-time staff of over sixty doubles during the summer months.
In addition to our conferences, we host over 130 Christian retreat groups each year including numerous churches and parachurch organizations.
We are also the location of Ecola Bible College and the Christian Culinary Academy. Some years ago, we also acquired the Ecola Creek Lodge motel which is open to the public for short-term vacation stays.
CBCC is an interdenominational ministry and is a member of Christian Camp and Conference Association as well as the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability.
a unique group of individuals, united by our shared commitment to serve the Lord. Each of us brings our own experiences, talents, and perspectives. Our differences enrich our journey, reminding us that we are stronger together in our mission to serve.
