Who Can Register?

Come join us at LOMC for rest, planning and more.

The planning and care of ministries often requires time and space to lead ministry opportunities. Perhaps you need to work on a sermon series, plan a Bible study, map out that mission trip, or recreate your family ministry plans. Or perhaps you simply need to rest and recharge.

Available for all ELCA church workers, paid or volunteer.

All guests must have a current WAIVER completed.

Costs and Grant Dollars

LOMC receives donations from churches and individuals directed to our Scholarship Fund. We have funds set aside to grant church workers time to spend in creation. While these funds can cover the full cost of a church worker retreat, we ask church workers for a free-will donation that covers the per-night cost (currently $95 per night) or more. All donations received will be returned to our Scholarship Fund to help other church workers in need of financial assistance.
