Time again for the Annual Rock Springs Camp Meeting!

The Rock Spring Camp Meeting traces it's roots back to 1794 when a "camp meeting" was held in the woods for several days and nights at the site of the Rehobeth Methodist Church. A Methodist minister named Daniel Asbury from Halifax County, Virginia is credited with starting the camp meeting tradition here. It is a very cherished event in Denver, North Carolina and everyone is welcomed to join in and celebrate this time of fellowship and worship.
