Our staff will attest that the opportunity to work here can be very rewarding for so many reasons: being in nature, working with kids, and most of all, growing in relationship with the Lord!
Col 3:23 - "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." At Inspiration Hills, we remember as employees that the work we do is more than just a job, it is an act of service for God and our local Christian community.
