4 Opportunities for your Church
We're Here For You!
As a Parachurch organization, one of our ministry goals is to serve your church as you fulfill your unique ministry goals. After all, your church is the entire reason we exist! Our various meeting rooms exist to be used for your retreats. Our lodging exists to provide a place of solace for your families. Our hiking trails exist to help connect you with nature. Our activities and programs exist to provide meaningful experiences that will point your congregation closer to Christ. If there weren’t a network of dedicated churches across all denominations for us to walk alongside in ministry, there would be no Inspiration Hills. That being said, let’s take a look at a few of the ways your church can get involved this year.
4 Ways Your Church Can Get Involved
1. Run Your Own Retreat Here
Inspiration Hills has seen a lot! We’ve seen Youth Group Retreats, Women’s Retreats, Mens Retreats, Consistory Retreats, and even Quilting Retreats! These types of gatherings are what most of the rooms in Eaglecrest Lodge and the Main Lodge are specifically made for. You can hold a large group gathering in the Fireside room, have a meal in our Dining Hall, hang out for worship around the fire, and enjoy some activities like Axe Throwing, Archery Tag, Swimming, or Hiking! There are plenty of spaces where you can gather, but what makes Inspiration Hills unique is the fact that its set apart with access to the outdoors. It’s a great opportunity to unplug, unwind, and focus on God in a unique location with your church family.
2. Host an Outdoor Sunday Gathering
Churches are always looking for ways to make their Sunday gatherings special. Why not hold your church service in the great outdoors! We have an outdoor stage here for your congregation to pitch up some lawn chairs around and have worship in the midst of God’s creation. Whenever churches do this with us, they’ll typically also share a meal together in the Dining Hall, set up some yard games, and make a day out of it! The vast array of activities available on property provide so many opportunities for your congregation to have fellowship beyond the usual cookies and coffee in the fellowship hall.
3. Hold Your Church Leadership Meeting Here
Why not mix up your elder or deacon meeting by coming to Inspiration Hills? Sometimes that change of pace you get from being in a different location can bring a new perspective for your church leaders meeting. In fact, we’ve designated the scenic Upper Room in Eaglecrest Lodge as a free provision for church leaders to use. Sure, it’s quite the commute to come out her, but there’s something about going out of your way to meet somewhere that makes the meeting feel al the more special.
4. Bring a Volunteer Group
Lastly, volunteering is a great way to unite your congregation through service. There are always opportunities for your church to volunteer. It’s volunteers from churches like yours who built our front deck and constructed our siding. If you’ve got a group with a unique set of skills, please let us know! Even if you’re just looking to simply chop wood or move picnic tables, think of us.
Whenever you’re thinking of ways to build up your church body, strengthen bonds, and encounter God, remember that Inspiration Hills is always an option! We're here for you. Give us a call anytime! We're happy to help you plan your next church gathering.
