A Place of Purpose
ENCOURAGING AND EQUIPPING CHRISTIANS TO FOLLOW JESUS.
A NEW DAY DAWNS
AFTER MUCH PRAYER, COUNSEL AND SEARCHING THE DIRECTION OF UPLIFT IS SHIFTING FOCUS.
WE ARE STILL ABOUT THE SAME TRUTHS AND THE SAME HEART WILL BE EVIDENT.
THE ARC OF OUR PERSONAL JOURNEY AND THE SHIFTING OF THE NEEDS WE SEE ARE MERGING INTO NEW APPROACHES AND NEW POSSIBILITIES.
WHAT WE SEE:
-
A culture unmoored from truth.
-
A lack of clarity and conviction of fundamental principles.
-
A loss of relational skills and the strength of family structure.
-
A growing inability to focus on anything, especially what is most significant.
-
An unanchored construct of personal identity.
-
An increase in anxiety, discouragement and disengagement.
WHAT WE ARE OFFERING
A PLACE
This is a special piece of ground. It is prepared and prayed over. The beauty, quiet and space that is here all allow for the Sprit of God to work in needed and compelling ways.
EXPERIENCES
There is a spectrum of ways to engage this place. From quiet walks to mountain adventures, from work to rest, purpose meets perspective.
GUIDANCE
Formal programs will be offered to focus on certain topics and age groups.
Organic times to share our stories and seek truth, both planned and unplanned will be sought and encouraged.
FOR NOW
As winter unfolds there will be coming details on what will be offered in the upcoming season.
We ARE booking individual, couple, family and church groups that want to come for retreats, getaways or other purposes in keeping with our mission.
If you have already booked a visit for the upcoming season it will still be honored. Prices for 2026 have not been set yet but will be posted soon.
There will not be a Pursuit program for teens offered this summer. If you want to bring a youth group for a week or weekend contact Dean to see if this is still a possiblilty.

We have a Gathering at Uplift every other week where Dean usually teaches. Here is a link to the recordings.
