This brings up a good question, How many other theme parks have a church on the premises?

I know Dogpatch used to:Here are a few photos from a year or so back.

I was married in that church. It always make me feel amazing when I go in there.

I got married in the Wilderness Church on a Dec 16th.  It was 8 degrees outside and in.  Record for the day.  But you're right, I feel the Spirit there often.

I wouldn't say that I necessarily get a spiritual feeling when visiting Silver Dollar City, but it sure is very peaceful place for the heart, and soul. Silver Dollar City, and even the Ozarks for that matter really help me to appreciate life.

My Family always tries to visit the Wilderness Church at least once every time we visit SDC. I always feel Gods presence in that beautiful old church. Also, right before the tree lighting ceremony, when the speaker talks about the life of Jesus, we always get a warm fuzzy feeling. I also feel Gods presence during the train ride when "Grandpa" tells the real "Reason for the Season." I love the values that SDC was founded on, & I am very thankful that the company hasn't strayed from them.

We were also married in the Wilderness Church.  It was in October--unseasonably warm.  But even before we were married there, I'd always felt a special peace in the church.

Another awesome thread from old...

The whole park does it for me. The first time I went around 5yrs ago, the sons of the silver dollar were praising the Lord with a song as we walked in.  An elderly woman was telling a story with a biblical lesson to children on the front porch of the cabin.  Later I heard the Bankesters singing like a band of angels. All the employees were happy and friendly while they worked.  I thought this is the best glimpse of what heaven will be like that we can see on earth.

I agree with you SDcnut...welcome to the forums

Absolutely one of the main reasons we vacation there.  Outlaw run and things like that are nice but this gives the park true meaning and atmosphere you can't just find anywhere.  Of course you can find God everywhere and anywhere, but the church, park, and Ozark area are religious vacation destinations.
