The Glory Mountain of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ


THE GLORY MOUNTAIN is a 21-hectare property of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ located further up the Prayer Mountain in Tamayong, Calinan, Davao City at 3,000 feet above sea level and connected to 2,000 hectares of forest land just below the protected area attributed to Mt. Apo. The said area has been entrusted by the DENR to the KJC for protection and is now planted with 250,000 Benguet pine trees. As work in progress, natural waterways are being enhanced, flowers sown, free range chickens grown and log cabins crafted (we suggested a meeting/activity hall to boot). We await the opening of its glorious doors to the public
