ine Creek Retreat Center bills itself as a place “where God speaks.” One look at the property, and it is easy to see why. In Gore, Virginia, the center sits nestled amid 85 acres of the breathtaking Appalachian Mountains. The retreat center’s remote location guarantees that the outside world can’t disturb the thoughts of participants. Only a passing deer or bird could possibly break a visitor’s train of thought. The intimacy of the venue has proved especially beneficial during postpandemic times when limited registration numbers and exclusive properties are attractive for groups looking to follow social distancing protocols. The staff of Pine Creek can easily ensure sanitation and prevent large crowds to protect the health and safety of attendees. Faith-based groups can unwind and feel at home at the property. The faith-based center offers staff to help organize prayer services, altar calls and other worship-based events.
