Attended a church retreat at Black Rock. Very nice accomodations. A bit older and more rustic, but still comfortable. Food was really good. My family enjoyed it very much.

Like man6 churches etc, we have been coming here since earo6 90's I don't like pay8ng for a water baptism and then having to pay more if you wish to swim. Do they need more funds? This wasn't the case years ago. Please reconsider because financially smaller churches struggle with this. If it's about needing more funds, I pray increase for this place.
