A. Sometimes the email ends up in your junk folder, so please check there first. It may also be that we might need to update your email address. Either way, let us know and we will be happy to update your information and resend the link. Email us at ECPWRetreat@ccob.org.

A. This new platform will offer you the option to register as a group or individually. Please see the important steps below, prior to registering.

New Steps Prior to Registering:

Step 1: Decide on roommates and room type (2-person room, 3-person room, 4 or more-person room). Please note: 2-Person Room must include a Pastors Wife.

Step 2: Choose a Room Point Person. This is required when registering and will help in the room placement process. If you are coming in alone and would like us to place you in a room, no need for a Room Point Person’s name.

Step 3: Please make sure all the ladies in the room are aware of who the Room Point Person is.

A. No, unless you are paying for everyone.

Example #1: Rooming and Paying for a group of three, on the registration page. Select three (3) for the 3-person room. Register all three women and submit payment. The name of the Room Point Person will be required.

Example #2: Rooming with a group of three, paying individually. Select one (1) for the 3-person room and pay for only you. Again, Room Point Person’s name will be required. The other two roommates would register the same way.

You will be registering each woman individually during the group registration process, select “Add Sunday Night” for the woman who is coming in early, the additional cost will be added just for her.

Yes you can. The differentiating factor will be the Room Point Person’s name, this way we will know which ladies are rooming together.

The Room Point Person’s name during registration will help us with placing the women together in their requested rooms more efficiently.

If you do not see your church name, select “other” from the drop-down box.

The person registering will get a confirmation email. The confirmation email will also allow you to make some minor changes like name, email, phone, and room type, add Sunday night to a processed registration and the option to share the confirmation email with another woman. If you did not receive the confirmation email, please let us know and we will resend it.

The system is set up with the actual retreat dates only and will not allow for the early arrival date. If you have paid the additional $145, your room will be ready. Don’t hesitate to reach out to confirm.

If you have any concerns or questions, please email them to Mimi Masters at ECPWretreat@ccob.org.If you would like us to follow up with a phone call, please include the best time and best phone number. This is another new process for us, and it is our pleasure to help you. Please note: Mimi’s phone number is 732.491.9897, this way you will know it is her calling. Might be a good idea to add her number to your phone contacts.

Your confirmation email will allow you to add that extra night. Click on “Manage Attendees”, select “edit/complete info”, and add Sunday night on the registration page. If someone else had registered for you, contact them and they will be able to make that change for you or, they can share the confirmation email with you.

We know that sometimes things come up and unexpected events happen that can keep you from attending the retreat. If you need to cancel, a processing and administration fee of $45 will be deducted from the refunded amount. If cancelled on or before March 31, 2026 a full refund minus the $45 fee will be issued. If cancelled on April 1, 2026, through April 6, 2026 50% of the cost will be refunded minus the $45 fee. After April 6, 2026 no refunds will be issued. All refunds will be returned to the debit/credit card that was used to register. To issue the refund, we will need the card holder’s name, the last four digits on the card and the card holder’s address. Please email Mimi Masters at ECPWRetreat@ccob.com with all required information.

If you are replacing her with another woman, you can make that change through the confirmation email, clicking on “manage”, click edit and change the name. If you or someone in your group must cancel with no replacement, please email Mimi Masters at ECPWRetreat@ccob.com regarding any changes.

All refunds will be processed as soon as we receive all the required card holder information. To issue the refund, we will need the card holder’s name, the last four digits on the card, and the card holder’s address. Please email Mimi Masters at ECPWRetreat@ccob.com with all required information.

We really want to encourage everyone to register online. If you need assistance, please email Mimi Masters at ECPWRetreat@ccob.org.

Registration is not considered final until all roommates have registered and submitted payment. It would be best practice for the Room Point Person to follow-up with the women in their room, prior to registration deadline on March 31st.
