DOUBLING GAP CENTER, once a turn of the century resort, took its name from the unusual lapping of the Blue Mountains which forms double gaps, resulting in a perfect horseshoe around the 150 acre facility.  The famous Doubling Gap Springs Hotel attracted such famous guests as John Wanamaker and Ulysses Grant who sampled the nutritious white sulfur springs.

TODAY, the historic hotel maintains the charm of former days but with a new purpose.  The Center provides a secluded mountain setting for all ages and denominations to retreat, refresh, and renew their Christian faith.  It has been owned by the Eastern Regional Conference of Churches of God since 1946.
