A Place of Rest for Pastors and Missionaries

Ministry is a unique and special calling — but we understand that it is also demanding. Week after week, pastors, missionaries, and ministry leaders pour into others, often with little time to rest, reflect, and be renewed.

Why This Exists

You Don't Have to Keep Running

Tuckaleechee Retreat Center was created to offer something many pastors rarely receive: uninterrupted time with the Lord in a place of quiet, beauty, and peace.

This is not a conference. This is not a program. This is a place to rest.

Designed for You

Designed Specifically for You

Located in the heart of the Smoky Mountains, Tuckaleechee Retreat Center provides a setting where pastors, missionaries, and ministry leaders can step away from the noise and reconnect with God. Here, you will find:

  • Quiet, private cabins surrounded by nature
  • Space for prayer, study, and reflection
  • Freedom from schedules and expectations
  • A peaceful environment designed for spiritual renewal

Most days of the year, pastors and missionary families are staying on the property — seeking rest, clarity, and renewed strength for ministry.

Pricing

A Retreat That Is Affordable

We understand that cost is often a barrier. That's why Tuckaleechee Retreat Center offers a tiered pricing system designed specifically to serve pastors and missionaries.

  • The first pastor or missionary to book a given date receives the steepest discount (Tier 1)
  • Additional tiers allow others to stay while still supporting the ministry

This structure allows TRC to remain accessible while continuing to serve as a ministry resource.

For Churches

Let Your Church Bless You

Many churches desire to care well for their pastors but aren't always sure how. A retreat at Tuckaleechee is a meaningful and practical way for a church to invest in the spiritual health of its leadership.

What Your Time Could Look Like

  • Space to think, process, and listen

No agenda. No expectations. Just time with the Lord.

Family

Bring Your Family (If You'd Like)

While many pastors come alone, others choose to bring their spouse or family. The retreat center offers a safe, peaceful environment where families can rest together — away from the pace and pressure of daily life.

Beyond a Destination

A Ministry, Not Just a Destination

Tuckaleechee Retreat Center is part of CBM's commitment to care for those who are serving others. Every stay supports the broader mission of CBM — equipping leaders, strengthening churches, and expanding the reach of Scripture to the next generation.
