Good Earth Village
Good Earth Village is a ministry built to develop leaders who see God’s creative, redemptive work in the world; people who recognize their gifts and answer the call to use them. Ministry offerings include a full-service retreat center, summer camp programs, leadership development training, and community service opportunities.

How many years on Chamber? 2 1/2 years
Why did you join Chamber? Good Earth Village has been a Chamber member for some time now, but I began attending meetings when I started working at Good Earth Village in 2018.
Business and committees you serve on and how long have you been employed at GEV? Secretary for Spring Valley Chamber of Commerce, Christmas on Historic Broadway, Spring Valley Easter Egg Hunt, and Buy Local. I also sit on the board for SE Minnesota Lutheran Men in Mission. I have worked at Good Earth Village as the Director of Retreat Services for nearly 3 years.
What do you like most about Spring Valley? I love the support everyone shows each other when someone is in need. Whether it is a business, school, church, or family situation; this community comes together to do whatever they can to help.
