Join us at Historic Beersheba Springs

Beautiful South Cumberland Getaway

Our annual all-church retreat at Beersheba Springs Assembly in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains is one of the year's highlights for many. The retreat center is located on the rim of the breathtaking Savage Gulf in Savage Gulf State Park. On retreat, we practice sabbath in God's beautiful creation through rest, fellowship, play, and worship together as a community.
 
Our church retreat is lightly-programmed because we want to give people plenty of space for rest and connection. Our retreat is also intentionally inter-generational. We provide programming for youth and children and — as much as possible — adults, youth, and children fully participate together in programming. It's one of the most special parts of retreat and of our church community. The best way to understand what the retreat is all about is to experience it. Join us, and you will learn why so many people in our church return year after year.
