Deep Roots, Wide Welcome: Introducing the Lodge 2.0 Campaign
For over 35 years, the Hollis Renewal Center has been a place where guests can step back from the demands of their daily lives, breathe deeply, and be surprised by God. Hollis embodies hospitality, serving as a place apart for prayer, reflection, learning, and renewal. At Hollis, groups are transformed from collections of individuals to communities.
Now, Hollis offers more than 5 miles of hiking trails across 153 acres of secluded and wooded land. Our facilities include a lodge for daytime retreats and weddings, as well as space for small groups to stay overnight in the Hideaway, the Meadow cottage, and the Tiny cabins. But today, the need is greater than our capacity. Our challenge is that there is not enough space to meet the demand for larger groups, forcing us to turn many groups away.
Acting in faith once again, our Board of Directors is planning for an expansion. We’ve launched the Deep Roots, Wide Welcome capital campaign. With your help, we’ll build Lodge 2.0 and invest in long-term sustainability so Hollis can continue to welcome more people, more often, for years to come. Thank you for your support.
