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
A new year brings new stories—and a continued commitment to making Hilltop a place of rest, renewal, and the quiet presence of Christ for all who come.
Each year, guests arrive carrying different burdens and hopes. Again and again, we see how time on the mountain creates space for stillness, reflection, and unexpected renewal.
In this edition of the Renewal Letter, we share a few of these stories—including “Pruning Off the Dead Wood” by Abigail Joy Stevens.
Rest in God’s Creation at
Hilltop Renewal Center

Mountain views, hiking trails, and outdoor reading benches beckon any visitor to absorb the beauty and wonder of His creation alongside of Him.
