Montreat Moment
Hello, spring!
Make a Gift in Honor of Montreat's 125th Birthday!
The Mountain Retreat Association, now known as Montreat Conference Center, was founded 125 years ago on March 3rd, 1897. In those 125 years, Montreat has grown and evolved into an organization devoted to gathering people to experience God's transforming power, preserving the natural beauty of its surroundings, and inspiring people to go out into the world with love. Through generous gifts to the Montreat Fund, all of this and more is made possible. Montreat's fiscal year ends on April 30th and we hope you will prayerfully consider a gift to the Montreat Fund. Whether that gift is $12.5, $125, or more, all donations have an impact on our ability to put on meaningful conferences, offer recreation and wilderness opportunities, and maintain our lodges and facilities. Visit our website to learn more about the Montreat Fund and other Ways to Give.
