In memory of our friend Mark

Our dear friend and past director of Oak Forest, Mark Rieland, passed away from a long bout with cancer on Friday, March 21. His suffering is now over as he rejoices in the presence of his Savior, Jesus Christ!

In his honor, Mark's family has designated all memorial gifts to go to Oak Forest Retreat and Conference Center.

Ministry leadership has decided that all memorial gifts should be designated for Oak Forest's most urgent need; namely, a replacement well because the one current well has recently gone dry!

Thank you for your memorial gift towards our well project in honor of Mark!

Quiet Retreats

As a Christian retreat center, Oak Forest Center offers quiet retreats for anyone needing time away to focus on their relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. As a time of personal reflection, relaxation, and refreshment, we offer a place for guests to spend time in prayer, fasting, studying scripture, or simply resting in the Lord's presence.

These personal quiet retreats are open to individuals at least 21 years of age or married couples (children less than one year allowed) as long as their primary intention is as described above.

Lodging options include a suite with a kitchenette or one of our standard guest rooms. Dates are subject to availability. Reservations are required.

If you are in full-time ministry or are a bi-vocational pastor, your lodging is free of charge. Meals can be purchased on-site, as available, or we can direct you to area restaurants.

To inquire about availability, email [email protected] or call 715-327-4530.
