Wesley Gardens Retreat Center
Located on the banks of the Moon River, Wesley Gardens Retreat Center is our second campus. We use it most often during the summer for gatherings on Sunday evenings for food, friendship, and worship.
Our Children’s Ministry also uses the campus for various activities such as Easter celebrations, Summer Fun Daze, Vacation Bible School, and more!
