"Our favorite time is singing hymns around the piano. Wishing this would never end! Praising the Lord for the encouragement and challenges from the Word. I wish more would come and enjoy this awesome conference."

"I look forward to The Gathering every year and I have never been disappointed! Enjoy eating at the Apple Barn and fellowshipping with old and new friends. The Webb family are the best and all the entertainment is excellent. The Hephzibah staff do everything possible to make us feel at home."

"This means everything to us. We come for a true vacation and time of spiritual refreshment. We always leave full of God’s creative beauty surrounding the Blue Ridge Mountains and are encouraged by the love and laughter in the services. Everyone should eat a Banana Split at Mel’s!"
