Emerald Hills has a clarion call: Create & maintain a premier environment to pray, retreat, & learn. "God has blessed this land beyond measure!"

That was one guest's response after visiting Emerald Hills, Team Expansion's new 61-acre retreat center in southeastern Jefferson County/Metro Louisville.

Though designed with a focus on missions and prayer, the facility is being designed to have the flexibility to handle virtually any group. So whether an intimate family reunion or a large corporate summer picnic, Emerald Hills will be ready for you.

And now, with the completion of the new 6,000-sq.-ft. Freedom Barn (pictured below), Emerald Hills is all the more ready to serve a variety of purposes. For example, while visiting the facility to assess its viability for a party of 100 people, a member of a recent scouting team concluded, "This will be perfect". They liked the flexible open space, ample rest room facilities, and easy-to-decorate environment. Freedom Barn features geothermal heating and air-conditioning, which gathers up energy from 10 feet beneath the earth, providing one more evidence of the great possibilities for living in harmony with God's amazing creation.

Emerald Hills is a ministry of Team Expansion, a non-profit missions agency based in Louisville. Founded in 1978 by a small band of praying college students, Team Expansion has now grown to include 260 full-time workers serving in 36 countries around the world, providing hope and a future to those who have precious few opportunities for progress.
