Meeting & Community Areas

Of course, our fellowship requires adequate places for our meetings. Here you will find a variety of such amenities. The living rooms in all apartments, duplexes, homes, and cabins are private and comfortable. The Fellowship Lodge has five separate living areas, including the auditorium with kitchen (capable of serving a combination of several groups) and a fireplace room. Throughout the grounds are indoor and outdoor separate areas for your group to meet or socialize, including on the lake.

The 12-Step Wilderness Walk

For many, just a walk along this trail can be a truly spiritual journey while pausing at the 5th Step Gazebo or any step bench for a view of an adjacent lake and to allow quiet time for personal reflection, meditation, and/or prayer. Perhaps you may wish to take this walk with us?
