God's Holiness Grove Camp stands out as a unique spiritual retreat in the Susquehanna Valley, born from a divine vision and the dedication of its founders. The Rev. J. E. Wolf, inspired by the Holy Spirit, recognized the pressing need for a camp meeting in the area. After an extensive search for a suitable location, he enlisted the help of Rev. William E. Straub. Together, they sought guidance from Rev. Carrie Yoder, who encouraged their mission. On a pivotal day in Sunbury, the two brethren prayed for direction in their quest for the perfect camp meeting site. Following their prayer, they explored the riverbanks and discovered a grove that would eventually become the campgrounds. At that time, there were others interested in purchasing the land for recreational purposes. However, through divine providence, the Hummel heirs chose not to sell to those seeking a pleasure resort. Instead, they agreed to sell the land to the brethren for camp meeting purposes after negotiating a fair price. With generous contributions from local friends and churches, the initial payment was secured, allowing the work to commence. In August 1920, the front section of the grove was cleared, and a spring that had been closed was reopened, preparing the site for its inaugural camp
