Visit our website at A bit of history – In the latter half of the nineteenth century, thousands flocked to these sacred grounds to lift their voices and fill the air with lively praise and worship. Local churches would suspend their services to come as an entire body to worship with “those Methodists.” Many renowned preachers have stood behind the pulpit to declare the Word of God to the attentive ears and open hearts of the faithful and the curious. Willimantic Camp Meeting Association Worshipping & Praising God in 2010 July 22nd – Sept 2nd One Hundred and Fifty years later, many different denominational and nondenominational churches still gather to praise and worship God together here on “God’s holy hill”. Our mission remains the same, reaching out to a broken world with the Good News of Jesus Christ! We welcome you to worship with us as we await His glorious return, pondering the words He spoke so long ago – “When the Son of Man come, will He really find faith on the earth?” Luke18: 8 May God bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.
