Fall Weekend- with Pastor Ray Barnard
2026-09-18 - 2026-09-20 | Blue Mountain Christian Retreat, 1 Christian Lane, New Ringgold, PA, 17960, United States
Bring the whole family for an amazing get-away at Blue Mountain Christian Retreat! Relax, play, worship and grow closer to Jesus together. Call 570-386-2154 to register or book a room. We have fun activities and engaging worship services, with Pastor Ray Barnard, for families of all sizes and ages! Enjoy a weekend that will make memories to last a lifetime!
The story of Pastor Ray Barnard began as one of destiny demanding to be fulfilled. Raised in a God-fearing family, living next door to the church that was made possible in part by his family donating the land – he had no choice but to be in church every Sunday. Thus a strong foundation was laid for the plan, purpose and direction his life was to take. Pastor Ray lost both his parents at a very early age. Things were not easy, but he was able to capture a vision for his life.
As a young man growing up, he came to know and understand the value of work, focus, discipline, and commitment to a goal. An exceptional athlete, Pastor Barnard ranked as an All-City and All-District football and basketball player. This would set the “stage” for public exposure. His early life played a critical role for God’s call and commission: to teach the Word of Faith and to Create A People Who Can Not Be Destroyed.
Pastor Ray and his wife Tracey, started Impacting Your World Christian Center from their home, with eleven people, chairs borrowed from the YMCA, and a 2-channel soundboard along with their home stereo system. Today, Impacting Your World Christian Center is a thriving church seated on ten acres in Cherry Hill, NJ. Pastor Ray is committed to preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom beyond the church walls. He is a sought after global speaker – motivating and empowering secular and church conference attendees. Pastor Barnard has ministered in Africa, the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, Europe, India, the British and U.S. Virgin Islands, Mexico and Panama. He has also hosted various television and radio programs throughout his ministry. Pastor Ray is married to Pastor Tracey Barnard and they have one beautiful daughter, Rayna Elise, who is the joy and delight of her parents.

Steve and Darla are also the President and Vice-President of Destiny Christian School, which serves children from pre-k to grade 12. The school is built on three pillars that teach all students how to pray, how to defend their faith, and how to succeed academically. Realizing that over 70% of Christian children are at risk of walking away from their faith after age 14, Steve and Darla have committed to turn no child away for finances, so every child can attend regardless of their family circumstance. Currently over 50% of the students receive significant financial aid. They believe the children in their community are one of the greatest mission fields worth investing into.

Family Week- Edwin Felicie & Justin D. Elwell
2026-07-07 - 2026-07-12 | Blue Mountain Christian Retreat, 1 Christian Lane, New Ringgold, PA, 17960, United States
Step Away to Step In – Call 570-386-2154 to register or to book your room.
“Each year when I return to Blue Mountain, the Lord reminds me that ministry is sustained by His presence, not by our effort alone. The retreat becomes a place where leaders and the faithful can slow down, breathe again, hear His voice, and be refreshed in their calling. What I see each year is that when people slow down before the Lord, He renews vision, restores weary hearts, and draws us closer to Him and to one another. It is a time of great blessing.” Justin Elwell
This is your time to unplug, refocus, and draw closer to the Lord. Sharpen the Word of God in your spirit
Deuteronomy 6:7 (ESV) instructs, “You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.”
Teach- Impress- Sharpen – Original Word: שָׁנַן Part of Speech: Verb Pronunciation: shah-nan’
“For 30 plus years Blue Mountain has done just that for both my children and grandchildren as also for me. And now I have the privilege to speak at this very same place that giants of the faith have shared from their hearts His word. And so for this July my prayer is that I continue this legacy by presenting His sharpen (impress) word.” Edwin Felicie
