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!

We feature two dining rooms, each capable of handling both intricate banquets as well as comfortable meals together.

The Woods Cafe is our guest snack bar, designed to provide you with quick and delicious options.

The lounge outside the Woods Cafe offers plenty of space to relax, connect with others, or just find a quiet space to reflect.

We offer a game room with table games, as well as a billiards table, foosball, air hockey and more!

The Fireside Lounge is one of our most sought after spaces, combining the cozy warmth of a fireplace with premium seating areas. So settle in and enjoy one of our guests favorite areas!

In memory of our friend Mark
