Briarwood Retreat Ministries
A Partner in DiscipleLife Alive!
Briarwood encompasses 70 acres of heavily wooded land, much of which is unspoiled, virgin growth. It can comfortably serve 160 guests in a wide variety of housing units. The developed areas of the center include two large activity fields, several miles of hiking trails, and 27 buildings.

Pastor Rob Moore is executive director of Briarwood Retreat Center. He and his staff host a wide range of camping, retreat and conference experiences.
Briarwood's History
Through the commitment and vision of many faithful church leaders, Briarwood Retreat Center was purchased from the Presbyterian church in 1995. Many upgrades and improvements were made in the early years.
In 1998, Briarwood became independent of its former agency, Lutheran Outdoor and Retreat Ministries of the Southwest (LORMS), affording more local ownership and control over its programming and facilities use.
The ministry of Briarwood is rapidly growing. Summer camp registrations are up, weekends are booked many months in advance, and the people and congregations of the synod are committed to seeing Briarwood grow (including the construction of three new cabins).
