The Cove, a Christian conference center in Asheville, North Carolina located at the Billy Graham Training Center. The Cove is designed to equip, encourage and empower believers who want to grow and deepen their faith.
The Cove is a 1,200 acre getaway in Asheville, North Carolina where gifted Christian leaders, teachers, and speakers guide people in studying God's Word. We invite you to come with a friend, spouse, or a group and discover that the greatest thing about The Cove is what you take home: life-changing truths that will produce a harvest of righteousness in you and those around you.
We love working with The Cove and were thrilled with the opportunity to work with them again recently for And Evening at The Cove with Brandon Heath. We love the family time. The quiet away from it all that The Cove cultivates.
We set out on our road trip to Asheville, North Carolina. We LOVE going to the beautiful North Carolina mountains any time we can and especially to visit The Cove. Here we go....
We made our best time driving up - we didn't even want to stop. We had our tunes cranking on the Lexus audio system that we listened to as we drove up in the Lexus RX350 that we were reviewing. Post coming separately. Hint: The Lexus handles beautifully on the road and in the mountains. :)
We all LOVED the Lexus RX350. It was the perfect size for our family to have a mountain road trip.
So, back to The Cove... we made it! Look at the beauty as we entered the Cove Campus.
We love to spend every minute we can there so we took our picnic with us and ate lunch at our Inn. They have an awesome Loft at each Inn with room to lunch, enjoy the fireplace, read and enjoy some complimentary soda, coffee, hot cocoa and hot tea. We had so much fun!
Look at our "Welcoming Committee...." We love the abundance of wildlife at The Cove.
He was gracious enough to stop and sign autographs! Because, you know, our boys had
all of their Brandon Heath CDs at the ready for his autograph!
He was very gracious and kind. And patient with a set of thirteen year old twin boy who think he is the best. And a fine, handsome husband who was so happy to meet him as well. :)
Then, he even got a picture with Mom included and I got to pose with his Guitar. :) Seriously, isn't this epic. And the Concert hasn't even begun, yet.
After settling into our cozy room with a fabulous view of the forest there at the Cove, we walked the short distance over the the Billy Graham Training Center to this beautiful "balcony" and view!
for a fabulous and gourmet Dinner ...the Chef at The Cove is outstanding. Thinking 5 star!
The Concert was incredible! We were so blessed - I Loved "Love Does!" So
amazing and we loved all of the personal stories Brandon shared.
and the Concert was such a blessing. We were all moved by Brandon Heath's talent and to share it in such an intimate and relaxing setting like The Cove.
We always pause for a beautiful family photo opportunity of the mountain range .... You see how we love the beauty and serenity of The Cove.
More autograph time!
The Cove is the perfect locale to take your teens to a Christian Concert. The venue is small enough to truly enjoy. And get the benefit of such wonderful artists. They typically have the performers do a signing after the concert in the Ruth's Attic Bookstore located in the same building. You can get wonderful gifts, books, CDs, souvenirs and more.
Brandon surprised our boys with an autographed copy of his vintage
vinyl record, Blue Mountain. The boys were over the moon with excitement.
This was so thoughtful.
The photo is one of the hundreds on exhibit on the floor with the Bookstore. It is wonderful
to see the progression of Billy Graham's ministry.
The Cove is a wonderful destination for Christian Concerts, Retreats, Conferences and Getaways. There is Leadership Training and more. Step away from it all and enjoy the solitude of The Cove!
Warmly, Carolina Mama
