WHY HOLLIS?

WHAT IS HOLLIS?

See old friends and meet new friends at Hollis.

Hollis Renewal Center provides "a time and place apart" for individuals, small groups and organizations to pause and reflect on their mission. It embodies

hospitality and gives guests the time and space to be transformed from a collection of individuals into a community.

We take very seriously the gifts of time, land, buildings, and resources as we use them wisely and care for
their sustainability into the future.  Hollis is a place for prayer and hospitality to provide opportunities for reflection, learning, and renewal for groups and individuals.

Welcome Statement

 The earth and everything in it, the world and its inhabitants, belong to God (Psalm 24.1) CSB. 

 

In gratitude to God and in obligation to the Church and to the community, Hollis Renewal Center welcomes all people regardless of race, religion, color, creed, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, national origin, age, or ancestry. ​ Discrimination is demeaning, destructive and directly at odds with the Gospel of Christ and our goals of fostering equity, mutual understanding and cooperation. 

Land Acknowledgement Statement

Hollis Renewal Center is located on the ancestral homelands of the Kickapoo, Kaw/Kansa and Osage peoples. 


We give thanks for all those who have cared for the land since time immemorial, and we are honored to steward
​and continue to care for the land; 

so that the land may prosper for future generations. 

Understanding the Mobius

Our logo represents Hollis Renewal Center as a Christian Witness dedicated to growth and wholeness in Christian living and to the centrality of Christ in life, here, represented by the cross. The cross is entwined with a Mobius Strip which has no inside and no outside, no beginning and no end.
