Cristo is open to both single and married people. However, both husband and wife must attend the same pair of weekends. Weekends fill quickly. Clergy from churches, which have not participated in the past, are given preference in the application selection. The weekends are operated in pairs.
Men attend the first weekend and women attend one week later.
Both weekends are held at the same site. Cristo team members live together as a community. Complete attendance is required for the entire weekend. Each weekend is presented by a team, which has gathered and trained together for that weekend only. The same format and time schedule is followed for each weekend.
