WELCOME CAMPERS!


"The seed is the word of God. (Luke 8:11b). But what comes of a seed that is never planted? Never cultivated in fertile soil? The seed does not change. It remains the source of life waiting to be planted — hoping one day to reach toward the sun and grow in strength. So too, the word of God must be planted in our hearts if we want Him to guide our thoughts, our actions, our decisions as we reach for the Son and grow in strength.

His word does not change. It remains the source of life. But, its impact on our life will only be seen when we plant the seed in our hearts.  

Family camp will challenge our children to understand the seed and how to plant it. Challenge our youth to water the seed and be rooted and grounded by its power. Challenge our adults to become living examples of his word — the seed in full bloom. Challenge us all to grow in His word.

We’re so glad you are joining us for a time of spiritual renewal for the whole family. This is an opportunity to draw closer to each other as you draw closer to Him. I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for us!

CHILDREN IN CHURCH
Family Camp is designed so that families with kids are together during service time in the chapel. It is the best way to "plant the seed" early and to allow everyone — no matter their age — to experience the Lord's presence. You're welcome to bring books or other quiet toys for the little ones, and let us know if we can do anything to help.

CAMP SAFETY
While we will be the only group using the Bison Ranch Retreat Center during family camp, the facility is located near public retail, vacation properties, vehicular traffic, livestock and a pond. Parents/guardians are responsible for their own children’s safety at all times.
