About the National Association of the Church of God
NACOG History

We are the proud owners of the oldest and largest Black-owned campground with over 200 acres in Western Pennsylvania.

Our Campground
The Campground of the National Association of the Church of God, West Middlesex, PA, sits on several acres of land in the Shenago Valley in Western Pennslyvania. It is the oldest black-owned campground in the United States—the vision of Elijah Wimbush, who sought a gathering place for the people of God. For several generations, the campground has become a place of spiritual birthing, renewal, and transformation.
As you drive up the winding road on what we affectionately call Zion's Hill, you can sense the presence of God welcoming His children to this precious place of revival. The center of the campground is the Raymond S. Jackson Memorial Tabernacle, the place of worship surrounded by the cabins and homes of many of the association's members. Just in the time of Moses, the Tabernacle was the center surrounded by the camp of Israel. The campground also has various public spaces, including the NACOG museum and the Concession Stands.
