Why We Call It Home

The “Welcome Home” sign is the first thing you see as you enter the grounds of America’s Keswick. It’s not just a greeting; it’s a term of endearment meant for all who walk through our doors. This phrase was inspired by countless verbal comments and notes of encouragement we’ve received over the years—from guests, Colony residents, friends, and even staff members.

There’s just something about this place…

“When I’m here, I’m home.”
“It’s like a second home to us.”
“We feel right at home here.”
“I feel so at home just taking a nap on one of the couches in the lobby.”
“I’m home…”

It doesn’t take long before people discover that what they feel is more than comfort—it’s the Spirit of God.

From the President’s Heart

“Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” ~ Philippians 1:6

My family moved to America’s Keswick when I was just six years old, and from that moment on, I’ve been captivated by the work God does here every single day. This place is more than just a retreat center; it’s a sanctuary where lives are changed, hearts are healed, and hope is restored.

As you plan your visit to America’s Keswick, know that you are stepping onto holy ground. Since 1897, God has been meeting people here—speaking to hearts, breaking chains, and transforming lives. It is our prayer that He will do the same for you.

As a team, we are committed to serving our guests and those in our addiction recovery programs with love, kindness, and excellence. Whether you come for a retreat, a conference, or to find healing and freedom, we want you to feel welcomed, loved, and at home.

America’s Keswick can be your home away from home, and we can’t wait to say, “Welcome Home,” the next time you visit.

Come and be a part of our America’s Keswick family, and allow us the privilege of saying, “WELCOME HOME!”

With heartfelt gratitude,
Pastor Graeme Wilson
