Chaplains Religious Enrichment Development Operation (CREDO) is a program sponsored by the Navy Chief of Chaplains.  CREDO offers transformational retreat-based programs and non-retreat events designed to assist Marines, Sailors, and their families in developing the spiritual resources and resiliency necessary to excel in the military environment. Since 1971, CREDO has offered spiritual, personal, and relational growth opportunities profoundly enhancing the lives and service of participants.  CREDO provides commanders with a key resource by which to care for and strengthen their Marines, Sailors, and families.

The CREDO programs and personnel are operationally focused, family supportive, and flexible in the provision of ministry. CREDO programs are designed to:

• Maximize operational impact

• Offer standardized retreat and training programs

• Clarify appropriate relationships for all Marines and Sailors.

CREDO retreats enhance the Navy core values of honor, courage, and commitment by developing Marines, Sailors, and families who are trained in ethics, morally grounded, supportive of their families, spiritually ready, and sustained in their religious freedom and mission capability.
