Who Can Register?

This special opportunity is available for all ELCA church workers; paid or volunteer.

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.

Come join us at LOMC to enjoy time away for rest, planning and more.

At this time the grant for personal retreats is open to all ELCA church workers (paid and volunteer).

All guests must have a current WAIVER completed.

Costs and Grant Dollars

If possible, we ask church workers for a free-will donation to cover the per-night cost (currently $95 per night).

LOMC receives donations from churches and individuals directed to our Scholarship Fund. We have set aside an initial amount of $2,500 to help grant church workers time to spend in creation.

DONATE IT FORWARD
All donations received will be returned to our Scholarship Fund to help other church workers in need. We prefer to offer partial grants if possible but we will work with each individual circumstance.
