Grace Place's mission is to keep Lutheran church workers and leaders healthy and focused by offering them a chance to take a time out from their busy lives and reflect on their own physical, emotional and spiritual health.
Pastors, teachers, parish nurses, choir directors, and church professionals are often so devoted to their work that they do not take time to care for themselves. The result is that they ultimately end up in crisis.
Grace Place steps in to prevent this pattern by offering these individuals the chance to learn new skills and strategies to combat chronic stresses. Church professionals embark on a wellness retreat where they can rejuvenate with rest and fellowship.
Participants may later follow an Internet-based, life-long learning module to practice a healthy lifestyle as they continue to serve God and others.
