“This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice.”

1 John 1:9-10

Over 30 Years of Ministry

Mountain Ministry isn’t something new, but God is continuously carrying out His work in fresh, new, and exciting ways. Consider the story of Loon Mountain Ministry, which began over 30 years ago with one man and his family, and the wonderful ways God has blessed and grown this ministry ever since.

Did you know that our founder wrote a book?

In his own memoir and the biographies of three colleagues, Skip Schwarz tells the stories of four men who share a unique and challenging calling: starting ministries at ski resorts. Their journeys to this uncommon occupation were anything but predictable, and had not God intervened, their lives would have turned out tragically different. Divorce, drug addiction, mental illness, and job losses were the obstacles God redeemed, rewarding their faithfulness amidst these trials by leading each into a ministry to the thousands of skiers and their families who enjoy skiing, snowboarding, and the beauty of the natural world around them. Theirs was a calling that none sought, but all found; their individual paths illustrating a principle applicable to everyone regardless of their station in life: no matter what happens, for those who remain faithful, God has a plan.
