What Students Are Saying
Set in the beautiful mountains of WNC. You are surrounded by wonderful hiking trails, Asheville is 15 min. away with endless opportunities of things to do and Montreat is tucked back in a cove of Black Mountain where you feel at home. It creates a feeling of safety and peacefulness just being here.

Eclectic mountain escape that is very intentional with community and growing in Christ.
