Complementary Listening Experience 

We offer our guests a complimentary 30min listening experience.  This is a session with a MARK Centre staff member who leads you through a "Lectio Divina", a scripture reading practice that invites you to meet God personally and receive from him.

Jazz Nights

Come visit the MARK Centre and bring some friends for a live jazz night.  These Sunday nights are a time to celebrate life with chai lattes, hazelnut cake, live music and a community of friends and neighbours.  Watch our website for the next scheduled night of jazz.

Spiritual Direction Opportunities

At the MARK Centre we offer monthly spiritual direction sessions for individuals. These one hour sessions focus on paying attention to God’s activity and our response to him.  If you are interested in giving this a try contact Steve at 604.556.7796 or steve@markcentre.org.

Spa Services

The MARK Centre has the luxury of being located near Theresa, a massage practitioner and Joanna, an aesthetician.  Book a massage, manicure, pedicure or waxing during your stay at the MARK Centre or surprise a missionary with a spa gift package.  Contact Theresa at theresa@hotmail.com or Joanna at joannashantz@hotmail.com.

Walking Trails Nearby

The MARK Centre is conveniently located on the main bus route for the City of Abbotsford.  Coffee shops and grocery stores are within walking distance.  Even though it is in the middle of the city, the MARK Centre is surrounded by trees and close to miles of trails that wind through forests and parks.

Outdoor Hot Tub

The hot tub in the northeast corner of the property is surrounded by plants and trees and covered with a wood gazebo.  This area is furnished with tables and chairs on a patio and has become a great place to spend some time alone or with others.

Pre-ordered Gift Baskets

Theresa loves to prepare gift baskets full of goodies to welcome our guests to their room. You can pre order a gift basket for yourself or a friend by contacting the office at 604.556.7796 or  bookings@markcentre.org.

Hazelnut Cake and Chai

Every MARK Centre hosted retreat begins with Steve’s famous chai latte and a slice of Grandma Thielmann’s hazelnut cake.  Everyone is also welcome to drop by the MARK Centre for free chai and hazelnut cake during our Sunday night live jazz nights.
