The fifth stop of the face to face journey, was St. Columba Episcopal Center is a 148 acre conference and retreat center located 20 minutes right outside of Memphis, Tennessee.  Opening in the late 1970’s with one of there main lodges & kitchen/dining hall built in 1981.

Swimming at the lake

There is a 5 acre lake on property, and they do have a 50 yard slip in slide; and a mud pond play area for recreation for their Episcopal Day Camp during the summer.

And also wanted to show everyone another cool aspect of there center, the day campers have the activity of creek walking getting inner city and suburban city children more into nature at the site.

  1. Great photos of St. Columba. This was the first Episcopal Camp and Conference Center I ever visited.

    Tim Geske helped push me into this incredible ministry and I am forever in his debt.
