OUR STORY

Greenbrier Christian Retreat began as a dream for Founding members Don Huber and Jonathan Comer, in 2005. Through continuous prayer, bountiful donations, faith, and hard work, they were able to inspire passion in many, to realize what we now know as Greenbrier Christian Retreat. 

Construction began in 2014 and by the summer of 2016, we were blessed to open our doors to our inaugural youth summer camp. We quickly realized that our outreach was small and began opening up to other Christian organizations. We offer retreats, camps, and rental space to churches and organizations of like-Christian faith. 

We hope that our facilities will provide you with the luxury of peace to spend time with the Lord!

OUR FOUNDERS

Don and Susan Huber are our founding visionaries. Don is a builder, real estate developer, and outdoorsman. His wife Susan is our secretary and treasurer, essential to the stability of our organization. With their interests and expertise, they were able to bring to life the Lord’s calling in the realization of Greenbrier Christian Retreat. 

They have utilized the blessings that the Lord has given them to endow our organization and build what they feel will be life-changing for many and bring people closer to the Lord in an environment that is rejuvenating and inspiring. 

The Hubers, parents of four adult children, and grandparents of two, share their time between White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, and Windermere, Florida.
