Where Faith Meets the Mountains
Our Mission
The first part is the campfire representing God’s presence when we gather in His name, the second is the bridge representing our connections in Christian community and the third is the mountains reminding us of God’s beautiful creation.
So as you spend time around the fire or every time you light a candle, remember God’s presence and ask Him for eyes to see and ears to hear. And every time you cross a bridge say a prayer of thanks for the connection we have to others in community and ask God to help you forge new connections. And when you are walking around camp or in your community don’t forget to look around, take a deep breath and enjoy the beauty of God’s creation. Enjoy God. To God alone be the glory.
