The Oaks and The Pines are Ecumen communities. Based in Shoreview, Minn., Ecumen, which is affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), provides a variety of housing choices for people living fully after 50.

Our name comes from the word ecumenical, which in turn is derived from the Greek word for "home." Our philosophy and our promise is to create "home" for the people we serve. Our customers are the reason we are here and we continually work to learn from their feedback and wisdom. At all Ecumen communities we conduct extensive customer satisfaction research to ensure that we are creating a community that you are proud to call home.

We are honored that you would choose an Ecumen community in which to live and we want to ensure that as a member of The Oaks or The Pines that your living experience is everything that you want it to be.
