The Christward Ministry at Questhaven

A Christ-Centered Spiritual Retreat and Nature Preserve

Questhaven Retreat was founded in 1940 by Reverends Flower and Lawrence Newhouse. Flower A. Newhouse is a well-known twentieth-century Christian mystic who wrote and lectured extensively, reawakening humanity to the reality of the Living Christ, the Inner Worlds and the Angel Kingdom. Today, Questhaven continues to offer visitors a quiet and sacred space for worship, study and renewal as a Christ-Centered Spiritual Retreat and Nature Preserve located on 655 acres of pristine wilderness nestled among the coastal hills of San Diego County.

As home to the Christward Ministry and Questhaven Academy, Questhaven serves as a training community for students who seek a deeper study into the path of the mystic experienced through Christian Mysticism. Flower taught that the Lord Christ offers us the greatest pattern to our own unfolding and to the full awakening of God within. Thus, every inch of this holy ground is consecrated to the Lord Christ forever and His call for the spiritualizing, healing and transformation of all life.

Sustained by Faith since 1940

A time arrives in the life of every true seeker when it is not enough to simply believe in God. The greatest need is to know God.
Flower A. Newhouse
