OUR MISSION: Preparing servant leaders
"The Lodestar Mountain Inn has had a large impact on me over the past two years. I started as a gap year student and stayed on as the Food Services Supervisor because of my love for the mission, location, and the family LMI has given me. I wake up each day excited to glorify Christ, witness to others, and deepen relationships with those around me. I thank God often for bringing me here and using LMI to shape me into the young women I am becoming." ~Maggie Bauer, LMI Food Services Supervisor
