Fields of the Wood

Fields of the Wood is a Christian religious park of more than 200 acres (81 ha) in Cherokee County, North Carolina, owned by the Church of God of Prophecy—a Holiness Pentecostal denomination.

[1] Fields of the Wood was the creation of A. J. Tomlinson (1865-1943), ultimate founder of the several Holiness Pentecostal denominations called the Church of God, five of which have headquarters in Cleveland, Tennessee.

[6] [7] Fields of the Wood includes numerous markers and monuments, some of significance to Christians generally and others only to members of the Church of God of Prophecy.

These include representations of the three crosses on Golgotha and The Garden Tomb; a baptismal pool; "Prayer Mountain," featuring 29 monuments with quotations from the Bible and four markers summarizing the history of the Church of God of Prophecy; and at the top, a "Prayed and Prevailed" marker where written prayers are often left by visitors.

[10][11] Three short hiking trails lead down from the mountain to restrooms, picnic tables, a gift shop, and a café.
