Description

This beautiful Autumn photograph was captured on the campus of Montreat Christian Conference Center! I have had the pleasure of visiting there several times but this particular year the Fall season was so colorful! The water reflections on Lake Susan were amazing, and I am so blessed to have been there to experience it, and to present this photograph from that special moment in time.
The following is taken from the website; The Montreat Conference Center is one of three national conference centers affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The conference center is under the management of the Mountain Retreat Association, which formed in 1905 and is a church related institute. For over 100 years, we have been a place set apart for those who journey here seeking a closer relationship with their Creator.
Our Mission Statement: Encountering God through relationships, renewal, recreation, and rest.Our Core Values:￿Cultivate an abiding faith in Jesus Christ through personal and congregational spiritual renewal and growth;￿Nurture and preserve relationships;￿Demonstrate intentional hospitality;
￿Care for the natural treasure that is Montreat;￿Foster a safe place; and
￿Honor continuing ties to the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
.... Montreat offers meeting space, housing, and recreational facilities for individuals, groups, and families. We also host non-profit and business groups looking for retreat opportunities in a peaceful, gracious setting.

The landmass of the Montreat community, as a whole, has 4,000 acres of property. The conference center permanently protected 2,500 acres of this, which is now a dedicated wilderness area registered in the NC Registry of National Heritage Areas, resulting in more than 40 miles of hiking trails.

In addition to hiking, Montreat has five tennis courts, Robert Lake Park playground, Bill Wilde Youth Center, and paddle boating, canoeing, and fishing on Lake Susan.
