Event Qualifications

Lindenwood offers meeting spaces and overnight accommodations to not-for-profit organizations, churches, and businesses. All are welcome at Lindenwood regardless of faith beliefs. We encourage intergenerational events and programs. Since Lindenwood is a non-profit organization, we may offer space for conferences which deal with the profit/loss statement of a for-profit business only if a portion of the agenda is dedicated to the personal growth of its employees, enhancing the "spirit" of the workplace or your holistic vision for the future.

As a private facility, we reserve the right to offer the use of our facilities to those whose philosophies agree with our mission and purpose.
