New Cabin Construction
July 2024 Update
Dear friends,
We are in the process of looking for a builder/general contractor to head up the project. We have a few leads, so please pray that God would connect us with the right person!
We are seeking additional donations to fully fund the cabin project. As of today, we have received a $250,000 lead gift plus $50,000 in individual donations and pledges through 2026. We need to raise an additional $100,000 for the construction, $25,000 for utilities and infrastructure work, and $35,000 for the decorations, accessories, and furniture.
As work begins at the site, including clearing the land and infrastructure work, please pray for safety for the contractors and volunteers involved.

Responding to the needs of missionaries so they may be more enabled to reach the world for Christ.
EdenRidge at a Glance
EdenRidge is a missionary-focused retreat and vacation destination located on the Cumberland Plateau in East Tennessee. Featuring six beautifully appointed cabins, the Welcome Center, World Missions Park, and our newly constructed Prayer Park, EdenRidge welcomes 1,500 missionaries and Christian workers annually from around the world.
Located on the Cumberland Plateau 2,000 feet above sea level — the highest point between the Rockies and the Smoky Mountains — EdenRidge guests enjoy a mild climate with four distinct seasons that complement the abundance of natural wooded splendor, wildlife, and beautiful mountain views.
EdenRidge exists to serve missionaries by providing a retreat center focused on them with no concern about the lack of sufficient funds to be able to come.
The key word at EdenRidge is rest. For some, rest may mean relaxing in one of our well-appointed guest cabins, while enjoying the beauty of God's creation. For others, it might be enjoying time as a family at some of the great parks and attractions in the area or the many amenities in nearby Fairfield Glade. After a stay at EdenRidge, our prayer is that missionaries will be well-rested, renewed, and ready to move forward in the place God has called them.
