SUPPORT THE MISSION
With guidance from the Holy Spirit, we’ve restored historic sacred spaces like the Church of the Purification, Purification Cemetery, the Welcome Center, and Locust Grove Cemetery while developing over 200 acres into a place of retreat and renewal. Generous gifts and support have made it possible to welcome thousands to this holy ground. And still, the journey continues.
We invite you to help sustain our mission—supporting the people and programs that draw hearts closer to God, deepen faith, and open lives to the transforming power of the Gospel. Your sacrificial gifts are at the heart of everything we’re able to do now and in the future.

A Word From Our Donors
Our priests need to rest and there is no better place than Heritage. It is God’s work that their stay can be covered!

The new fence and gate all look quite grand and fitting for the history of the Purification Church. [We] were especially impressed with the iron roses! What a feat for the blacksmith!?

I am deeply grateful for your support. Your generosity allows us to restore what is sacred, welcome those who are seeking and offer young adults the chance to serve with purpose and grow in faith. I am continually inspired by what has already been entrusted to us and even more by what lies ahead. Together, we are shaping something lasting for this moment and for generations to come.
A Note From Our Team
We believe prayer is the most powerful gift you can offer—please keep Heritage, our team, and all who visit this holy ground in your prayers. If you're also able to give financially, your support helps make space for others to encounter Christ through retreat, restoration, and renewal. Both kinds of support—spiritual and financial—are vital to our mission.
