Where is it?

Cross Oak Camp and Retreat Center St. Mary's, Ohio (Formerly Lighthouse Camp and Retreat Center)

Who's invited ?

Any woman who is 16 or older and who wants to go deeper in prayer.

Feel free to invite family, friends, and church groups.

Nursing infants are allowed.

This prayer retreat, hosted by Dayton SHOP, is open to any woman hungry for the Lord.

Standard lodging is dorm room style, but inn rooms are available at an increased rate. Each dorm room consists of 6 bunk beds, but we will only use the bottom bunks for our retreat. Dorm rooms will require you to bring your own bedding.

Inn rooms are similar to a hotel room, each with either 2 full or 2 queen sized beds, a private bathroom, and a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. You can choose to stay alone (single occupancy), find one friend and room together (double occupancy), or find 2 or 3 friends to room together (triple+ occupancy).

*If rooming with someone, please let us know who by emailing us at caseym.patterson@gmail.com. Inn rooms have linens provided!

Here’s the deal…

We do things a little differently around here…

We know it can be a little weird or even awkward visiting a church for the first time…

That’s why we created Plan Your Visit.

When you sign up for Plan Your Visit we’ll:

✅ meet you at the front door

✅ help you get your kids checked in

✅ introduce you around to a few people

✅ save you seats

✅ we’ll even sit with you if you want (so you don't have to sit by yourself)

We want to make your first visit as easy as possible, and actually take time to get to know you and your family.

Pretty crazy idea, right?

Will you come hang out with us this Sunday?

Hi, my name is Jeff.

I believe that you are uniquely wired by God for a specific purpose, and that unless you figure out what that purpose is, you'll never be truly fulfilled.

No one else on earth can fulfill the unique calling that God has for you.

No one else can fulfill your assignment.

Maybe you know exactly what your purpose is, maybe you've been running from it for a while, or maybe you have absolutely no idea where to even start looking for it...

But I want to help you find it.

Because I believe that the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who actually do...
