The Northwoods Conference Center on over 2,500 acres in the Ottawa National Forest provides a stunning, scenic, quite location for our Journeys. Whether it is getting up early in the morning to spend time meditating on the Word while watching fog rise up off of one of the lakes or marveling at the majesty and grandeur of our God as you see the amazing stars at night and hear the call of loon, we think the Northwoods is an idyllic and peaceful setting for getting to know the Creator better on a Journey to the Heart as you marvel at His creation.
