In November 1992, LEC acquired the former Callahan Center in Wilsonville, which consisted of a three-level building on a lot. The lot also included thirteen cabins, with over 70 rooms, which were used for spiritual retreats conducted via the church's sister organization, Namaste Retreat Center, which by 1996 had an annual revenue of $1.5 million with an operating surplus. By 1997, LEC was engaged in a campaign via advertising, outreach programs, and a Sunday morning television show broadcasting in the Portland area, growing the local congregation by an extra 200 members.
