A Vision for Rest, Restoration, and Renewed Hope

Some spend their lives caring for others while quietly carrying burdens of their own. Pastors and ministry leaders grow weary. Marriages need time and support to heal. Children need places to feel loved, safe, and encouraged in their faith.

Our vision for H.I.S. Hidden Sanctuary & Retreat is to create a Christ-centered place where people receive care, find rest, and spend time with the Lord.

We envision peaceful cabins for rest and prayer, an assembly hall for worship and fellowship, marriage counseling, and summer camps for children. The grounds would offer space for quiet walks, meaningful conversations, and time together.

The images on this page show our vision for the future property. These are concept images of what we hope to build as God provides the resources, support, and people to help bring this vision to life.

We invite you to pray with us and consider supporting the work ahead. Your prayers, gifts, skills, and service would help us build a place where weary people receive care and those who feel forgotten know they are remembered and loved.
