Its mission of renewal and growth has remained the same over the years, but has also expanded to include any church, business or organization looking for a unique place to come together. In 2019 over 6,000 people came to the center to take advantage of the peaceful, pastoral setting with meeting rooms, lodging, and a dining areas all under one roof. Both local and national organizations as well as religious and non-religious groups regularly reserve the center for thier event. In 2014, the center underwent a major renovation which included updating the lodging rooms and giving the meeting and dining areas a contemporary, upscale feel while at the same time continuing to provide a beautiful and sacred spaces for reflection and contemplation.
