Good Earth Village
Outdoor Ministry and Retreat Center

To live as people of God in this world, we need to get away and grow together, uniting as we learn and play in God's creation

With 500 acres featuring expansive hills, hardwood forests, limestone cliffs, caves, meadow and a meandering trout stream, Good Earth Village is able to provide an ideal setting for retreat, renewal and recreational opportunities. We invite you to get away from your everyday routine to experience creation and the people around you in a whole new way.

Good Earth Village is a year-round facility ideal for serving groups wishing to take some time away. It's a place that provides the setting, lodging accomodations, meeting rooms, recreational activities and wonderful meals you're looking for to make your retreat experience a success.

Whether your group is looking for the rustic simplicity of Old Town or the more modern facilities of the Log Lodge Retreat Center, we have the place for you!
