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 values 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.
