DeSoto Caverns

Church Group: A Worship Overnight at Majestic Caverns

A Retreat Beyond the Ordinary

Being deep inside a beautiful rock cathedral invites us to experience God's presence in an extraordinary way. Majestic Caverns offers such a place, an underground sanctuary where worship takes on a new depth and meaning. Throughout Scripture, caves have been sites of powerful encounters with God, from Elijah seeking refuge in a cave on Mount Horeb to King David hiding in caves to even Jesus' resurrection from the tomb. Just as these moments were transformative, your church can remember the significant ways God has encountered His people in caves while embarking on a journey of worship and spiritual revelation by spending an overnight in the depths of Majestic Caverns.
