This year marks the 60th anniversary of when Church members first gathered for a festival on this beautiful island, back in 1963. Jekyll Island is a protected state park and offers a millennial-type setting which emphasizes God’s glorious creation as we worship together and celebrate the coming Kingdom of God!
