Marriage Conference
2025 Snowbird Marriage Conference
The Snowbird Marriage Conference is the perfect mountain getaway for you and your spouse. You’ll leave refreshed, refocused, and motivated to keep Christ at the center of your marriage. This three-day conference offers four main sessions and several breakout sessions that focus on the biblical purpose of marriage and practical ways to grow in your relationship with the Lord and your spouse.
Biblical Marriage
October 24-26, 2025
We love because He first loved us. (1 John 4:19)
This truth is most apparent in Christian marriage. When we can view our spouses through the lens of God’s love for them, He will change our hearts and transform our marriages.
To achieve this, we must understand that the same Gospel at work in us is at work in our spouses. Just as God, through Christ Jesus, forgave, redeemed, and restored us and remembers our sins no more, He has done so for our believing spouse.
By adopting this godly perspective, we come closer to loving each other with the same love with which God loves us.

Lodging & Recreation:
You are welcome to stay in one of our cozy cabins on-campus or explore the many off-campus options through the travel website of your choice (like Airbnb). Please keep in mind that we are primarily a student camp, so all of our rooms have bunkbed style accommodations.
Our housing is not ideal for married couples. However, there is a large number of cabin rentals and Airbnb options located in our area. Consider options located near our Snowbird address: 75 Mae Johnson Way, Andrews, NC 28901.
Our on-campus recreation options are available. Many off-campus ideas include hiking, local coffee shops, or exploring the NOC.

What is the programming like at Snowbird?
This marriage conference includes solid biblical teaching, Gospel-focused worship, high-adventure recreation, and encouraging days with your better half. Don’t worry if you’re not the greatest thrill-seeker—there will be delicious food, beautiful scenery, and plenty of time away from the craziness of everyday life.
What recreation Is provided at the Marriage Conference?
The scheduled recreation includes our on-campus recreation options, like our climbing tower, aerial park, 3-man swing, and gun range. However, there are plenty of small-town mountain treasures to discover as well. You’ll have time to grab a quick hike on the Appalachian Trail, watch kayakers explore the Nantahala River, or check out one of the coffee shops in Andrews, Murphy, or Bryson City.
What types of housing is available?
We have over 14 cabins on our campus, divided by bedrooms for each couple. They each provide twin-sized bunk beds, air conditioning, and heat. Our cleaning team takes great pride in keeping things clean but the buildings are simply functional. You’ll need to provide your own bedding, pillows, and towels. The bathhouse is a short walk across the property.
Our housing is not ideal for married couples. However, there is a large number of cabin rentals and Airbnb options located in our area. Consider options located near our Snowbird address: 75 Mae Johnson Way, Andrews, NC 28901.
How do I add or drop additional spots to my ministry team?
You can add additional couples to your group as long as the conference is not full. The best way to check the current capacity is to open your Snowbird Account and see if any remaining spots are open for the retreat. However, you’ll want only to register spots that you’re sure you’ll need. The deposit is non-refundable.
