75th Anniversary Celebration Weekend

Then and Now: 75 Years of Innovation in Ministry at Stony Point Center

April 4-6, 2025

What to Expect

Join us as we mark the many seasons of ministry at Stony Point Center!

Seventy-five years ago, the Gilmor Sloane sisters, faithful Presbyterian pastor’s kids and social justice supporters, gifted their grounds to the Presbyterian Church. The sisters had used their home to host global mission co-workers for gatherings of renewal, sharing and learning and passed their property on so the work could continue. Let’s celebrate!

You’ll hear from those who led and were impacted by the innovative ministry at Stony Point Center. We’ll explore the grounds, honor our ministry legends, learn what the future holds, and dedicate a new Memorial Grove. Lots of time to connect with old friends, lots of inspiring conversations, and great entertainment.

Be sure to share this invite with everyone you know who was enriched by Stony Point Center and please share your stories, memories and memorabilia so we can share that with other guest! This event won’t be complete without you.
