Where Christ finds people and changes lives. 

About Us

“Come away … and rest for a while.” — Mark 6:31

Harvey Cedars Bible Conference is a Christian retreat center on Long Beach Island, New Jersey. It provides a space for Christian conferences, retreats, and other events. Groups and organizations of various sizes come for retreats year-round, and summer is filled with week-long events for families and teenagers.

Throughout Scripture, we see reminders to rest from everyday responsibilities. God instituted the day of rest from creation and modeled it in Jesus, who taught His disciples to get away from the work and crowds to find time to renew themselves in His presence.

Harvey Cedars is a place to rest—to retreat and still feel at home. We pray that when you step away, you’ll find a place that helps you find renewed inspiration to live every day glorifying Christ in your home, church, neighborhood, and workplace.

You’ll find our spacious and charming facility in the town of Harvey Cedars, in a quiet spot on Long Beach Island in South Jersey, between the beautiful Barnegat Bay and Atlantic Ocean. Harvey Cedars is conveniently located just within a two-hour drive from Philadelphia and New York City, making it an ideal location for your retreat!
