MOUNT OLIVET CONFERENCE & RETREAT CENTER

Mount Olivet Conference & Retreat Center was established in a time of national uncertainty and economic instability: the oil crisis of the 1970s. Pastor Paul Youngdahl, then Senior Pastor of Mount Olivet Lutheran Church, worried that steeply rising gasoline prices would hinder travel to Cathedral of the Pines in northern Minnesota.
