New Ebenezer Retreat Hospitality
Since 1977, The New Ebenezer Retreat and Conference Center has acted as a vital part of our history-rich community by serving and welcoming many guests and visitors into our fold.
Circa 1977
Situated on a peaceful tract of land amidst whispering pines and sparkling waters, New Ebenezer is a non-profit retreat facility that provides comfortable accommodations, an expansive conference facility, and heartfelt hospitality in the remote and beautiful setting of coastal Georgia near Historic Savannah.
New Ebenezer Retreat & Conference Center
Founded in 1977 by Mr. Richard C. Kessler, New Ebenezer Retreat and Conference Center is the result of a 1973 vision on a mountain in Austria to recreate Historic Ebenezer as a retreat center.
Our Mission
“The purpose of this ministry shall be to strengthen the family, to encourage wholesome recreation in an unspoiled environment, to provide a positive setting for learning and growth, and to empower individuals, couples, families and groups to experience renewal with each other and with God.”
Our History
“Many stories are told about the wonderful growth experiences people have enjoyed in this special place. Children have played and learned, adults have shared, and the weary have rested.
Thank God he has provided us with this place.Only God knows what he wants and wills for the future of New Ebenezer.
May we all continue to be alert and open to His direction. I do believe there are more miracles ahead for this special place. May we be ready to do our part.”
– Mr. Richard C. Kessler
