THE COTTAGE MINISTRY

The Concord Cottage The first Cottage constructed on the grounds of Oaks Manor Conference and Retreat Center was named The Concord Cottage in appreciation of the Concord Baptist Association of Fort Smith, Arkansas. The association of churches contributed funds to help construct this efficiency facility which accommodates one or two people.

The cottage is air conditioned/heated for year round use. It has a kitchenette, bath, a king sized bed (can be separated into two single beds), a table and chairs, comfortable sitting area, dishes, linens, and an outdoor grill.

The front porch swing offers a view of the lovely grounds. The Concord Cottage is isolated yet convenient to all areas of the conference center.

A guest cart is provided for leisure rides around the grounds on one of the trails, or to check out the pond.

You may want to ride or walk to the prayer stations that are located on the grounds where you can spend time with our Heavenly Father or just sit and enjoy the beauty.

Jesus Rested
"Then Jesus said, 'Let's go to a place where we can be alone and get some rest.'" (Mark 6:31b). If Jesus felt the need to get away how much more do we because of the press and stress that many are experiencing today?

A few hours, a day, an overnight, or several days spent in the cottage at Oaks Manor Conference and Retreat Center may be just the thing you need. Check us out!

We visualize other cottages that will be built to accommodate the increasing number of people who wish to utilize this beautiful place. Plans for cottages include efficiency style duplexes, triplexes, and quadriplexes Cottages may be built in honor of, or in memory of a loved one, friend, or church group. Information about floor plans, building agreements, and cost estimates are available to any church, group, or individual on request.

GUEST LODGE

Our guest lodge, completed in the fall of 2007, has 6 guest rooms. Each guest room has a private bath. One of the guest rooms is handicapped accessible. The rooms can be equipped with 2 single beds or 1 king sized bed depending on the event. All linens are furnished. Each guest lodge room has an outside entrance onto the wrap around porch. Rocking chairs on the porch invite guests to sit and visit or just enjoy the peace and beauty of OMCRC.

THE OUTDOOR PAVILLION

Our outdoor pavilion seats up to 65 people, and has restrooms and a small food service room. The beautiful setting overlooking the pond and wind mill makes this the perfect place for parties, weddings, Bible studies, prayer conferences, and other day and/or evening activities.
