Hilltop Renewal Center is dedicated to flourishing emotionally and spiritually healthy followers of Christ through the formative experience of retreat.
Hilltop retreats re-orient people through God’s love so they can continue to impact God’s Kingdom in a sustainable way. The center provides a natural sanctuary of peace and hope for followers of Jesus to experience freedom and rest. It’s a place of solitude and silence, gently renewing you in the reality of Emmanuel, God with you. A place where you can be marked by His deep love while continuing to become all that God intended you to become.
Our approach:
Return to Your Rest
Summer/Fall Update
As the year draws to a close, we find ourselves once again pausing—grateful for all the ways God has used Hilltop as a place of refuge, renewal, and deep listening. Each season brings its own rhythm to the mountain: moments of quiet restoration, bursts of community and prayer, and countless unseen ways the Spirit meets those who come to rest here.
What follows is a glimpse into the story God is writing at Hilltop—how He is using this small patch of sacred ground to serve pastors, educators, missionaries, and individuals seeking to be still and know His presence.
Your prayers and generosity continue to make that story possible.
