Welcome to the Maria Stein Retreat Center
Whether you’re seeking solitude, personal growth, or a space to bond with others, we offer a unique sanctuary where you can pray, reflect, and discover God’s peace.
Our two locations are located in the rural farming area of Mercer County, Ohio, known to some as “God’s Country.” The Retreat Center, grounded in Christian values, provides retreat and educational settings for all. An atmosphere of peace, prayer, and community helps to create a place for persons wanting to grow in a personal relationship with God.
