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. Since its founding more than 100 years ago, Ridgecrest has welcomed over one million guests. 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.

At Ridgecrest Conference Center, we strive to provide excellent customer service in a Christian environment. Before you even set foot on the campus, Ridgecrest’s staff has prayed for you - by name. Our mission is simple: we point people to Christ. Lives change at Ridgecrest. Priorities become realigned. And personal goals give way to God’s perfect will. Why not come and experience Ridgecrest for yourself?

If you are a Christian meeting planner seeking the ideal location for your next conference or event, a pastor or ministry leader preparing a personal or staff retreat, or a family looking for a unique mountain spiritual retreat, Ridgecrest invites you to experience the rustic charm that is found in these mountains, and the spiritual peace that is found in our Lord Jesus Christ.

As God works through us we will help people and churches know Jesus Christ and seek His Kingdom by providing the best conference center environment for experiencing spiritual transformation and renewal.
