Beautiful Outdoor Spaces

Discover God’s peace in nature

Whether visiting the Woods or the Lake, we invite you to discover our tranquil outdoor spaces – unique sanctuaries perfect for those seeking quiet solitude, and personal growth. Surrounded by nature’s inspiring beauty, your group can engage in prayer and reflection, as the gentle sounds of the environment cultivate a profound sense of peace.

This welcoming atmosphere not only encourages you to deepen your relationship with God but also provides the ideal setting for spiritual exploration and meaningful connections.

The Retreat Center looks forward to sharing this enriching experience with you!
