He leads you beside still waters,
He restores your soul
Come to life this Spring
Migrating Pelicans always signal the coming of Spring here at Stillwater where you can experience God's creation in all its beauty, fresh air, sunshine, new life, a place to rest and restore, plus experiences that draw you closer to Jesus. We welcome you!
Good Friday Experience, April 3
Remember Jesus' sacrificial atonement for your sin at our upcoming Good Friday Experience, April 3. Start by walking the Stations of the Cross, a devotional practice commemorating Christ's journey to the cross with 14 stations of reading and prayer. Then join us for a pitch-in dinner and give thanks for all God's redeeming acts through the Dayenu, a Seder song that focuses on contentment with the phrase, "it would have been enough."
4:30PM Stations of the Cross
6:00PM Pitch-In Dinner & Dayenu
CAMP26': Your Life, God's Story April 21
CAMP26': "Your Life, God's Story" starts on April 21 when we'll share our life stories and "camp out" on how God has been weaving our lives into a beautiful tapestry even though it may seem like a tangled mess this side of heaven. Our Camp Meetings include campfires, fun, fellowship, Bible Study, discussion and interactive exercises.
First-Time Visitors
We've never seen them before, but they made their first-time appearance this spring. Scaup ducks showed up in our bay one day literally out of the blue on their migration to the upper regions of North America. 2026 has brought us other first-time visitors reflecting on everything from family, ministry and losses in life, as well as one anticipating getting married. No matter where you’re headed in the upper regions of your heart, it’s always good to make a stop at Stillwater to get your bearings and hear from God. He cares about what you care about and when visitors come to Stillwater, they can tell He is listening and ready to guide them on the next leg of their journey. Like the wildlife here, visitors find us a safe place to be vulnerable with their heart and soul. If you've never been to Stillwater, maybe it's time.
Retreat & Restore Your Soul
Schedule your spring and summer retreats here at Stillwater and enjoy our Prayer Cabin & Labyrinth, lake views & kayaking, birdwatching & nature walks, sunset views & overnight stays. Everything you need to rest and rejuvenate in time alone with God. We're also scheduling group gatherings whether it's your women's retreat, board meeting or leadership training. Here's what a few of our 2026 visitors are saying about Stillwater:
