In J.R.R. Tolkien's trilogy, the Athelas is a lovely and rare flower that grows only in the high mountains, bringing with it healing and refreshment when sought by those willing to journey for it. At Athelas Outdoor Ministry we use the wonders of God's amazing mountain creation to teach Christians to serve and to rely on their creator, and provide a place to be refreshed and renewed in a community of believers. Take part in the journey!
