Hosted by Warm Beach Camp & Conference Center

Come and join us at Warm Beach Camp & Conference Center for our annual Christian Camp & Conference Association Northwest Sectional. Take time to rest, fellowship, relax, and be refreshed next to Washington’s Puget Sound.

In addition to the educational components of the conference, we’ll enjoy times of worship, fellowship, and teachings that enhance our walk with Jesus Christ. A variety of activities are available in the local area including sports facilities, shopping, and indoor shooting range.

150_wilkening_cropWorship Leader, Mark Wilkening

Mark Wilkening is the Worship Arts Pastor at Lake City Community Church in Lakewood, WA, where he has served for the last six years.  Mark’s passion is to see worship lived out as 24/7 lifestyle.  In addition to leading others to encounter the greatness of God, Mark oversees a Creative Arts Team that incorporates the Fine, Technical, Graphic, Theater and Video art forms into ministry.  Most recently, Mark and his wife, Kelsey, have been blessed to lead Lake City’s response to the orphan crisis by starting the The Father’s Heart; a ministry to the orphan, foster child and those who care for them.  Mark loves what he does, but his real work begins when he goes home, where he and Kelsey have the privilege of discipling their three children; Markus (5), Halle (4) and Zavion (4).
