Learn About CMI
Children’s Ministries International, Inc. (CMI) is a non-profit, non-denominational, evangelical Christian ministry to grade school age boys and girls. CMI began in 1980 and is based in San Diego, California. The purpose of our ministry is to plant the seed of Christ into the tender hearts of children. We do this through regional weekend Kids’ Retreats which we organize and conduct each year. Since 1980, we have ministered to more than 10,000 people through CMI’s Kids’ Retreats across America and overseas. As a result, hundreds of boys and girls have become Christians.

What We Believe
We believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God, without error in the original manuscripts and authoritative for daily living. We believe that there is one God eternally existing in three persons — Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His substitutionary death for our sins, and His bodily resurrection from the grave. Read more about our beliefs »
