assigned to USS ARCTIC, completing her “Final Voyage” from April – November

Station Sigonella, Sicily as Staff Chaplain in January 2002 and served the
community until January 2005. Chaplain Moore reported to Second Marine
Aircraft Wing, Marine Air Control Group 28, Cherry Point, NC and was
deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom 04-06. Moore earned
his Chaplain Fleet Marine Force Qualified Officer pin (FMFQO) in March 2007
and was promoted to Lieutenant Commander on 01 August 2007.
CDR Moore reported to Naval Submarine Support Command, Pearl Harbor Hawaii

the proud father of four beautiful children, Jessica 20, Isaac 19, Emily 17
and Joseph, 4 years. Moore has volunteered with the Boy Scouts of America in
Sicily and Cherry Point, NC. He enjoys playing softball, volleyball, golf

golfer and refuses to discuss his fishing abilities (or lack thereof).

Retreat Descriptions: All retreats are free and include meals and housing. Transportation is provided to the PGR, SGR, SR, WR, and as needed to the WTR. Registration is open for all retreats. However, we do not take registration for Marriage Enrichment Retreats until two months before their scheduled date.
Personal Growth Retreat (PGR) - Participants often described PGRs as a positive “turning point” in their lives. PGRs provide a safe-space and a proven opportunity for self-reflection and development of new personal and spiritual viewpoints on life issues. This retreat is not designed to fix or diagnose problems; rather it is an opportunity for participants to find hope and healing through the sharing of their story in a supportive community process.
Marriage Enrichment Retreats (MER) - MERs focus on deepening married couple’s commitment, self-understanding and of each other while ensuring space for individual couple time. Couples are responsible for setting up their own childcare. MERs help enrich marriages and are not a substitute for marital or individual counseling.
Family Enrichment Retreat (FER) - Families, in an interactive method, learn practical skills based on proven principals that can help resolve conflict, build encouragement within families and instill effective discipline to bring out the best in each family member. FERs include time for families to rest and play together. (The IA FER is reserved for families of recently returned IAs or that are deployed. The retreat includes space to address IA related issues.)
Women’s Retreat (WR) - The women’s retreat is specifically designed for women to reflect on their journey as a woman, their spiritual path in the company of other women and to re-energize for work and family. Through readings, small groups and other exercises women are helped to reconnect and as needed to look at their hopes, desires, fears and dreams.
PGW- The personal growth workshop is two days long and is included in the Navy’s BEARINGS program. Attendee’s are normally first or second term Sailors.
CREDO is a program of the Navy Chaplain Corps. The CREDO programs and personnel are operationally focused, family supportive, and flexible in the provision of ministry. The CREDO Midlant'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. CREDO Retreats enhance the Navy Chaplain Corps goal of developing spiritually fit sea warriors and family who are trained in ethics, morally grounded, family supportive, spiritually ready, sustained in her/his religious freedom, and mission capable.
