“The two times I have attended Glorieta have both been ‘mountain-top’ experiences. It is good to get away and to retreat from all the pressures of every day life as we know it. God blessed my family of four as we studied, learned new things and made new friends.”

“I just love being in Holcomb Hall. It is a fabulous facility where all of our ministers and representatives of the Laity can meet together, hear one another, and feel close to God all at the same time! I was so blessed to be ordained in such a Spirit-filled sanctuary!”

“I worked at Glorieta myself after my senior year in high school in 1964. Glorieta has since been a wonderful place in my mind and heart. I return as often as I can. I came last year for vacation and I returned this year for a personal retreat. I appreciate everything that the Glorieta staff is trying to do to make it a place of Christian hospitality. I plan to continue coming as often as possible.”

Kathy Christian Kennedy Glorieta
“All should experience Glorieta! It provides the necessary needs for a personal or group retreat. Our family just returned from our 2nd trip in 4 years and believe that if you can't find God there, you can't find Him anywhere. It's accommodating and affordable whether driving or flying into ABQ. It provides a true "Sanctuary" which is the Spanish meaning for the name. Awesome history as well. Go! Go Now!”

The Lloyd Family Glorieta
“We liked the Glorieta Family Camp structure in a Christian environment. We will definitely recommend this "vacation" to our friends and family. It was quite pricey however, it was worth every penny! We received far more than we expected. The worship and Bible study time and time with our family is priceless.”

“I went there for a Pastor's getaway. It was quiet and wonderful. All I can say is from what other people have said to me. Every week they tell me that since I have gotten back my sermons are better, bolder, preaching the word regardless of who it touches and the "fire" is back.”

Ed (Eddie) Hurt III Glorieta
“My first experience at Glorieta was in 1955 as a young Royal Ambassador. I was with a group from Trinity Baptist, OKC. I returned several times as a camper and camp sponser. Now that I am in my "senior years" I, along with thirty "youngsters" are returning to Glorieta for a week of preaching and "Southern Gospel Music". We represent Magnolia Ave. Baptist, Riverside, Ca. We have been blessed in recent years to hear men such as David Uth and Keith Wiginton. I thank God for Glorieta Baptist Assembly. It has had a major impact on my life.”

“I loved hearing the church bells toll the hour and half hour. The prayer garden is so peaceful. The whole facility is lovely and inviting. I also appreciated that it is gated; that provides a feeling of safety.”

“Many of us, either individually or in small groups, walked the grounds and marveled at the spiritual ambiance at every turn. The open Bible, the prayer garden, the hiking trails, the hills and wooded grounds...you have created an oasis - and it is so easy to feel God's presence.”

Bill Lawson Glorieta
“My family was 'in on' Glorieta even before Pioneer Week. My dad, Eual F. Lawson Sr., was Secretary of Evangelism/Brotherhood for the New Mexico Baptist Convention from 1948 till 1954. Dr. Harry P. Stagg appointed him to raise the money to get Glorieta Baptist Assembly started. Glorieta has been a blessing to many in the 59 years since we first slept on the ground there.”

Clayton Myers Glorieta
“Glorieta is that place where those who desire unity, fellowship, and rich and pure worship of our God and Savior go. I have been once and am looking forward to my next visit. There is nothing greater than to gather together as fellow believers and celebrate the victory we have in Jesus in unity. Praise the Lord!”

“This summer our family was forever changed for the better by attending family camp. As we pulled away to head home at the end of the week, the kids were already asking if we could come back next summer. We all felt a closer connection to God and to each other by being there.”
