About facility preparation

As volunteers, can we stay overnight more than one night?

YES! Of course, for space and project planning purposes, we need to know how long you have available and may need to make adjustments accordingly. 🙂


I have a specialty skill (plumbing, electrical, carpentry, etc.).  When would be best for me to come out?

We have a variety projects that need you, and most of them are being worked on all summer.  Please click here to see what projects would need your skills.


Can I help even if I do not have specialty skills (carpentry, plumbing, electrical)?

Yes, there are many tasks that need to be done that do not require specialty skills. We have much cleaning, organizing (anyone like using a label maker!?), and decorating to do, just to name a few.


Where is the retreat located?

149 Scenic Hill Road, Lancing, TN 37770. We are approximately 22 miles north of Crossville, Tennessee, just 3.5 miles over the Cumberand County line in Morgan County. BTW, we are just over the line into the Eastern Time Zone.  Don’t show up late to church like we did! 🙂 There are many wonderful places to check out while you are out here. Lilly Bluff on the Obed Wild and Scenic River, Frozen Head State Park, and Lone Mountain State Forest, just to name a few.


What materials do you need donated/purchased?

Please click here.


I can’t come when you have sessions open.  Is there another time to help?

Yes, let us know when is good for you, and we’ll try to work something out.


How else can I help if I can’t come out?

  • Pray for us. That is the best thing you could do. Keeping the LORD #1 during so much busy-ness is vital to us.
  • If you are on facebook or twitter, please spread the word about us.
  • Consider a donation of needed items (click here).
  • Consider a monetary donation.
  • Pray that God would prepare the hearts of families to come when we are open.
