About

If you're traveling along Interstate 45 in Texas, then this spot is a can't miss for curious travelers. Across the landscape just off the highway is a unique collection of outdoor pavilions, various forms of yard art, a pond, stages, a chapel, and an outdoor sanctuary. The campus is covered with hand-painted directives like "LOVE THE LAME BLIND," "YOUR SEARCH FOR TRUTH ENDS HERE," and "ALL RESURRECTED FOR JUDGEMENT DAY." Guests who visit the chapel are invited to write a message onto the pews to be enjoyed by fellow travelers.
