DuBose Conference Center is a perfect retreat, designed to be a welcoming place for meetings, seminars, conversation, contemplation, worship and fellowship.  On our grounds, we offer a fenced pool, outdoor chapel, playing fields, a pavilion with a labyrinth, the Art Barn for creative activities, and a bonfire circle.

Our peaceful mountain setting offers plenty of nearby recreational opportunities as well, including the University of The South and some of the most gorgeous hiking trails and overlooks in the Southeast.
