Honey Creek furthers the mission of the Diocese of Georgia

Honey Creek’s REAL value is in forming children, young adults, lay and clergy to be the FUTURE LEADERS of The Episcopal Church.

Honey Creek is used by the Diocese of Georgia for - our youth - our parishes - other diocesan programs Honey Creek is also used by - other Episcopal dioceses - other churches - secular groups

Honey Creek transforms lives… Each year we serve more than: 250 youth in programs like Happening and New Beginnings 250 children in summer camps 100 adults in Cursillo All diocesan clergy in meetings, conferences, education and retreats

A number of the priests serving today in the Diocese of Georgia testify that Honey Creek is in the foundation of their call to ministry and the formation they received there as youth provided for them “Holy Ground”

URGENCY Honey Creek’s $700,000 line of credit matures on August 31, 2011 and must be paid by that date. After much consideration, the church bonds are the only viable source of funding to pay off this debt.
