Where Christ Finds People and Changes Lives.

Christian Retreat Center on Long Beach Island, NJ

Retreats and Conferences on the New Jersey Shore

Harvey Cedars Bible Conference is a Christian retreat and conference center where church and ministry groups can step away and find spiritual renewal, inspired by Scripture’s call to rest in Christ’s presence.

Long Beach Island sets the perfect environment for youth, families, men, women, and leadership to connect with God and return home refreshed.
