About Spring Forest
Spring Forest is the home and farm of The Church at Spring Forest, a United Methodist new monastic, missional faith community. Our vision extends beyond the fields, reaching the heart and soul of our community.
Our ministries focus especially on:
- Regenerative Farming: Creating sustainable agricultural practices that enrich rather than deplete our Earth.
- Supporting Refugee Resettlement: Providing assistance and warm welcome to those starting a new life.
- Contemplative and Healing Spirituality: Offering space for reflection, growth, and spiritual nourishment.
- Nutritional and Spiritual Well-being: Nurturing the physical and spiritual health of our neighbors.
We joyfully collaborate with other churches, organizations, and non-profits. We are an inclusive community, engaging with people of other religions and no religion, all with the shared goal of bringing the love of Christ, the Spirit of Sacred transformation, and the beauty of hope into the world.
