Meet our new Maintenance Manager - Sam McCain

Sam is a native Californian, but comes to us from his last assignment at the Summit Bechtel Reserve, a scouting camp in West Virginia.

He has already jumped in with new energy and a strong work ethic partnered with a heart for ministry. We look forward to having him be part of our Pittsburgh District family.

Blessings to Dennis Brant

We said goodbye to our friend from the R.O.A.M. ministry, Dennis Brant. Dennis has been a huge blessing to MCNC this summer making sure that the lawn was always looking so finely groomed.  This really filled a need for us as we are still in need of a groundskeeper. He said that this was just what he needed as well. It is amazing how God takes care of all of His children as they seek to serve Him. May the LORD richly bless you, Dennis, in your next assignment.

We had a Woman's Retreat this weekend and it was amazing! Our whole group had so much fun and I'll definitely be at the next one.

We hold our annual Men's Retreat at the Center. We are always taken care of, our set-up is always easy, the food is great, and the cost is very reasonable. The camp has truly been a blessing to me and the group I represent.

I have been directing our District Teen Camp at Mt. Chestnut for 12 years. Colleen is there to help and serve our needs. The staff is courteous and Mark, the cook, did a fantastic job and the meals were delicious. I'm not sure you could find better service.
