* Unite * Heal * Learn * Create * Love *





Hill Haven Chapel is the continuation of the life's work of the Reverend Barbara Gibson, now 88 years old she was a ground breaking minister in Nashville in the late 70s and early 80s who had not only her own church on Gallatin Rd but also a radio program on WNAH that has ran for 5 decades! She moved in with her grand daughter Stephanie in 2008 and the doors closed on her last church in Nashville in 2016. Hill Haven Chapel has been a dream for Stephanie for nearly 30 years, a way to pay tribute to her grandmother and her colorful upbringing as well as continuing her own dreams of creating joyous experiences in nature and sharing the blessing of her farm and animals with others.
Hills of Hope is our continuing ministry that unites rescue horses with struggling teens and teaches them to face the challenges of life fearlessly. In order to raise money for the ministry we have a variety of ways you can contribute to our cause but our primary fundraiser is now our micro weddings and elopements that we handcraft into beautiful personal and intimate experiences for you and your guests. We offer both indoor and outdoor locations for your ceremony and have a reception hall to hang out with your guests after your photos with room to dance! We have several tabs on the site to make it simple for you to search for what you need and our contact us form has drop boxes that lets us know what service you are interested in. Please see our Donations page for pricing information.

Vision
Through the Liberty work with the horses you learn to trust yourself and the horse and find your place in the world around you and realize that you are perfect just as you are. From that place of joy we encourage you to create! Art has many forms and we urge people to grow their interests and hobbies and learn to love life again! Hills of Hope is born of life long experience of miracles and the desire to share that state of faith with others. We are an outreach of Miracle Worker Ministry.
Mission
Our mission is to remind people that we are created to be creators and that we are able to connect to the world around us. We teach the joy in creation and all of the creatures on earth. We remind our visitors that all of life has the right to grow and that peace is our birthright, joy is our natural state and both can be found within us much easier in the beauty and grace of nature. Learning to trust a 1000 pound animal is a reminder of how much you can trust yourself!
