Amid the demands of the frantic pace of today’s world, Beulah Beach is a place of rest, relaxation, & spiritual renewal. Some say they can sense the presence of God the moment they step on the grounds. God doesn’t speak any louder there, but for whatever reason, many claim they hear him better at Beulah Beach.  We are excited for the opportunity to hold this year’s retreat in a relaxed, slow paced  environment where we can focus on hearing His voice!
