Winter Storm Updates

We are very thankful that all of our staff are safe following the winter storm. We have several trees on power lines, no power, some water leaks in buildings due to the cold weather, and damage to several open air cabins. Please join us in praying for a swift recovery, the restoration of power quickly, and the ability to host all of our groups coming up.

1/28 Update: We just got power restored after 4 days and are continuing to assess the impact of the storm, but it does appear we have extensive damage to several buildings on campus. We are excited to reopen for several groups coming to campus this weekend! Please continue to pray for our staff as they diligently work to clean up campus and praise the Lord for heat and lights.

See how Ridge Haven can serve you!

“Our campus ministry has been coming here for our fall retreat for years, and the past four years I have been, I have loved every minute of it. Such a beautiful place, with super fun activities. The grilled cheese is honestly one of the top things I look forward to, but everything at the camp is clean, well-run, and all the staff is incredibly friendly. ”

Worship at Black Balsam Knob! Kicking off full staff training with one of Ridge Haven’s sweetest traditions. ⛰️🎶 Would you join us in praying for our summer staff of awesome college and high school students? Here are some ways you can be praying for them! 1. That the Lord give them bold and obedient courage to faithfully share the gospel with campers and guests all summer long! 2. That the Lord would protect the physical, emotional, and spiritual health of this staff. 3. That this staff would leave Ridge Haven’s front gates at the end of summer knowing the Lord more fully than when they arrived!
