The giant sycamore tree that once stood on the site was hand carved into the church�s pulpit by Lester Vining, and is still used today. Many Silver Dollar City guests make it a point to stop by Wilderness Church every time they visit the park. The view from the church of the Ozarks mountains is healing and renewing. Some visitors get a feeling of peace in the church where so many prayers have been answered.

The Wilderness Church has at least 3 Church services every Sunday. It is home to gospel sing-alongs, dedications, and christenings. Wilderness Church holds treasured memories for generations of families.
Come Christmas time, weddings really pick up, the park is beautifully decorated and looks like a winter wonderland. More and more brides are choosing a wedding date in the fall when the Ozarks are their most colorful. Schedule a wedding date when the park is open, then pick a time before, during or after hours.
When I walk into the church and sit in the hand hewed log pews, I feel a sense of peace looking out at the beauty of the Ozarks.
