Meeting Spaces
A Place to Gather and Connect
Glisson offers a wide range of meeting spaces and common areas for your retreat group. We can accommodate a variety of group sizes as well as audio-visual needs.
Bob Cagle Program Center
60-80 Guests
Modeled after a stamp mill, the Cagle Center offers one large partition-able meeting room with a ceiling-mounted projector (HDMI input) and a wireless microphone. There are also two smaller meeting rooms (on the 2nd floor), a catering kitchen, elevator access to all three floors, and a patio overlooking Cane Creek Falls.
Creekview Meeting Room
20-50 Guests
Creekview is conveniently located on the lower level of our new Dining Hall, adjacent to the coffee lounge, camp store, and prayer chapel. The space has wi-fi and a ceiling-mounted projector (HDMI input).
The meeting room opens up to a hallway with a view of Cane Creek and easy access to a covered rocking chair porch.
Jimmy & Julie Moor Program Center
100-200 Guests
Glisson alumni will remember our former dining hall, which has now been converted into meeting space. The main meeting area can accommodate up to 200 people, with seating for 160. The space is equipped with a ceiling-mounted projector (HDMI input) and a wireless microphone. Guests can also gather on the stone front porch, which boasts a large fireplace.
The lower level, known as Down Under, offers additional multimedia capabilities with flat-screen TVs, making it ideal for a variety of events and presentations.
Ivie Meeting Room
30-50 Guests
Groups staying in Ivie Lodge also get the Ivie Meeting Room (with fireplace and porch) as well as two small break-out rooms. The main meeting room is equipped with a ceiling-mounted projector (HDMI input) and easily holds the full lodging capacity of Ivie. The adjacent Ivie field is large enough for most group games.
Chapel
Originally built as an open-air structure in 1950, the Chapel underwent a major renovation in 2019 to preserve and expand it as Glisson’s primary worship gathering space for generations to come. The Path of Silence and surrounding benches offer a place for groups to prepare for worship or break into small groups afterward.
Holland Activities Building
A short walk from the Village cabins, the Holland Building is a large, heated gym that’s great for group games in colder months.
Prayer Chapel
The stone Prayer Chapel, located underneath the Dining Hall, is available for smaller groups to have a time of prayerful reflection.
Amphitheatre
Swofford Amphitheater provides a peaceful setting for worship and campfires on the banks of Lake Hale.
Fire Rings
There are numerous fire rings on the Glisson campus, perfect for both peaceful evening worship and making s’mores
