Religious

Enrichment

Development

Operation (CREDO) programs and personnel are operationally focused, family supportive, and flexible in the provision of ministry to Fleet, Fighter & Family. CREDO Mid- Atlantic’s efforts are designed to meet these service demands by: 1) Maximizing operational impact, 2) Offering standard retreat and training programs, and 3) Clarifying responsibilities. Retreats are strictly voluntary and are held during weekends. CREDO retreats and workshops enhance the Navy Chaplain Corps’ goal of developing spiritually fit sea warriors and families.

Attire for Retreats & Workshops CREDO strives to provide a relaxed training environment that is conducive to personal introspection and learning without attention to rank structure. For this reason, the uniform of the day for CREDO retreats and workshops is civilian attire that is in keeping with good order and discipline. Contact your command chaplain or CREDO for more information!
