Ministry Description |
For over 80 years, La Foret has operated as a UCC Affiliated camping and retreat center in the beauty of the Black Forest in Colorado. A former private residence gifted to the United Church of Christ in the 1940’s, La Foret has provided sacred space for people of all ages to experience the transcendence and beauty offered through the intersection of the natural world and human communities. By offering year-round hospitality to all who come to La Foret, this sanctuary seeks to serve the wider church and God’s beloved world. La Foret is emerging from a intense period with the construction and completion of Lapp Lodge (2024), recovery from the COVID pandemic (2020-2022), launch of The Refuge, a new programming division of La Foret, as well as ongoing maintenance and repair of current buildings with the hope to expand its offerings for education, recreation, and spiritual renewal for people of all ages. The Board seeks an Executive Director who, first and foremost, is deeply committed to articulating and embodying the Mission, Vision, and Core Values of La Foret. Leadership in this setting requires great personal resilience; passion and connection to La Foret and commitment to the teachings of Jesus; an ability to strategically envision La Foret’s place in the complex, changing world; ongoing focus on ecological regeneration and sustainability; solid business acumen; commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion; ability to foster meaningful relationships partners; oversight of renewal and/or construction of buildings and physical infrastructure; understanding the role of the Board and changes in the volunteer and employment landscape of our constituency.
