Holden Village trip August 2025


  • St. John's Lutheran Church 312 South Third Street Evansville, WI (map)

Located in the heart of Washington’s North Cascades Mountains, Holden Village is an iconic retreat center that offers visitors a unique opportunity to step into the wilderness to form and renew their relationship with God, the earth, and each other. Over the course of more than 60 years, Holden Village has been transformed from a copper mining town to a vibrant place of education, programming, and worship where everyone is welcome and embraced. Holden Village is the perfect setting for those who seek rest and renewal. The rustic buildings surrounded by forest and mountains allow guests to unplug from their daily to-dos and connect with themselves and others in recreation, worship, and shared meals with good company.
