BETHANY RETREAT CENTER was established in 1982 by the Anawim Religious Community of Frenchville, Pennsylvania. It is a place apart to rest, renew and be recreated for those seeking a deeper relationship with God. Located on 140 acres of partially wooded land in the hills of Pennsylvania, the atmosphere is quiet and peaceful — only 15 miles off Interstate 80.

I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend at Bethany Retreat Center with beautiful grounds, accommodations, meals, people, and a beautiful program.

You just can't beat the serenity of the grounds and facilities. There is peace and quiet for reflection and spaces for community gathering. I was able to still the chatter in my mind for clarity and focus.

Our group truly enjoyed our time together and the lovely grounds even though you had experienced a lot of rain. We were blessed to have time outside to enjoy the labyrinth and walking around. The sitting area in the barn worked perfectly for us. The 23 new people were amazed by the buildings and all you do. As always we were blessed to be there.
