Plans Underway For 35 Acre Christian Retreat In Century
November 20, 2008
Plans are underway for a 35 acres Christian retreat in Century that could eventually include a worship and prayer center.
Paul Davidson of Cantonment has purchased 35 acres at the end of McCall Road for the retreat they plan to call Moorer Place in memory of Paul’s late grandfather.
“God put this on our hearts at the first of the year,” Paul Davidson said. “He has really put Century on our hearts through prayer.”
The property will be named Moorer Place in honor of Davidson’s grandfather, the late Paul Nelson Moorer of Forest Home, Alabama. Davidson purchased the property with inheritance money from Moorer. It was purchased from current owner Carolyn Thompson, but it is actually the homeplace that once belong to Century Mayor Freddie McCall’s grandfather. “It’s a generation to generation thing,” Davidson said.
The property currently has only a small house and a barn. Those will be ready after the first of the year as a “place where people can come and relax and enjoy Christian fellowship,” he said. The center is not planned as a church, but as an a place to “strengthen other churches”.
“We will see what God has in store for it,” Davidson said, adding that there is no set timetable for the construction of the worship and prayer center.

I am a former resident of Century and would love to see this exciting endeavor unfold. I have helped with planning and putting into actions Christian retreats. I would love to see a facility in my home town that we could bring young people to study God’s word. If there is any way that I could help, please let me know. I will be praying for God to continue to lead you in His direction.
God Bless,
