Christian Retreat Center in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia
There are times when we need to escape from the world. The demands of daily living distract us to the point where it is difficult to commune with God. This is why we need to come apart to come together. Knowing we would need to commune with Him, God created a secluded spot called Higher Ground.
Nestled on a ridge in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, Higher Ground Christian Retreat Center offers a natural setting for Christian groups and churches to organize and conduct their own special events. Learn more about our mission and history. A 110-acre haven in Virginia overlooking nearby North Carolina, the breath-taking view and fresh mountain air at Higher Ground bring a new awareness of God's creation. A clear day opens vistas up to 60 miles away.
