This summer I had a chance to visit Eagle Lake Bible Camp (run by Blumenort Community Church) and Longbow Bible Camp (run by Ridgewood Church). It is exciting to see the flurry of activity when you arrive at a Bible camp. I was able to interview a couple of staff to understand why they thought camp was such an important part of their church ministry.

Christianity seems to be incurably cantankerous. This begins with the Bible. “Bible” comes from the Latin bibliotheca, meaning “library.” It’s not a book—it’s books.

Seven years later, that idea became a reality.

Saturday Night Church (SNC) in Landmark continues to meet most Saturday nights, as a small group of believers and followers of Jesus Christ, using our various gifts, to “love, serve, and bring peace to each other and to the world,” as we covenant together each year.

Greetings from Bow Island Gospel Church (BIGC)! This year will be five years since BIGC opened its doors. We have been continuously amazed at the growth and changes occurring during this time. We can look and say, “Look at what the Lord has done.”
