North Carolina Baptist Assembly, Religious retreat center in Brunswick County, US
The North Carolina Baptist Assembly occupies 250 acres between the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway at the eastern tip of Oak Island.
Originally constructed as a military base in 1836, Fort Caswell served various branches of the US armed forces until 1945, when the Baptist State Convention acquired it.
The center functions as a spiritual gathering place where North Carolina Baptist churches organize youth camps, conferences, and religious programs throughout the year.
The facility accommodates over 1,000 visitors simultaneously, featuring Hatch Auditorium, Smith Conference Center, and multiple housing units for extended stays.
The retreat center maintains its original fort structure while hosting military personnel from nearby Sunny Point Military Ocean Terminal during international operations.
