Fields of the Wood is a 200-acre park in Cherokee County, North Carolina, owned by the Church of God of Prophecy. The park is famous for its 300-foot-wide, mountainside depiction of the Ten Commandments.
It was created by A. J. Tomlinson, the founder of the several Pentecostal Holiness denominations. Fields of the Wood includes a number of markers and monuments, some significant to Christians and others to members of the Church of God of Prophecy. There are representations of the three crosses on Golgotha and The Garden Tomb; a baptismal pool; Prayer Mountain with 29 monuments with quotations from the Bible and more. Three hiking trails lead from the mountain down to restrooms, picnic tables, a gift shop, and a small café. The site has no campground or large preaching venue.
