In the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains in western North Carolina you can discover Ridgecrest, a 1,300-acre Christian conference center where you can leave your cares at the gate. Thru the years, God has continued to work in the lives of those visiting Ridgecrest Conference Center. Ministers and missionaries have been called, thousands have been saved and godly relationships have been formed. At Ridgecrest Conference Center we offer comfortable lodging in everything from deluxe hotels to family and youth housing. You can relax in your room, stroll around the campus or stake out your spot on Rocking Chair Ridge and let your mind wander as you look across the mountains. Ridgecrest is where people come to look into the mountains - and listen to God. When you are ready for more activity, Ridgecrest Conference Center offers a variety of outdoor recreational possibilities on site. Choose from hiking, miniature golf and fishing just to name a few. Within a short drive, area attractions include Biltmore Estate, whitewater rafting, golf and stunning vistas year-round. For those who love to shop, options abound in both nearby Black Mountain and Asheville.

Pastor Appreciation Month Gift Idea!!

-------------

Ridgecrest is the perfect place to rest and play, just right for getaways and spiritual retreats. All of us need time to refresh, unplug and step away from the busyness of life and ministry. At Ridgecrest, we invite you to do just that. Come for a personal spiritual retreat to rest, reflect or study. Reignite the romance with your spouse as you enjoy the campus and each other. Or reconnect with your family as you spend time building your relationships in a safe, Christian environment with a variety of activities for all ages. Stay a week or a weekend; you are always welcome here.

Our minister getaways provide the rest and renewal you’ve been looking for individually or as an inexpensive vacation with your family. For those in full-time ministry, we offer an incredible room rate of $89.00* per night, per room, and all Minister Getaways now include access to our Pastor’s Study with over 300 books and commentaries. To book your stay, simply call our reservations desk at (800) 588.7222​. We look forward to seeing you!
