Discovery – Exploring New Possibilities

Warm Beach Camp Ministries is stepping into the new year with a conviction that over the next 5 years, we will connect 1 million people with Jesus by partnering with leaders to provide transformational experiences. This is going to take some serious discovery and exploration.  We know God is leading us in this.

With ministry spread across the three camps, we hope to work with 500 leaders this year to provide opportunities for more than 100,000 people to connect with Jesus. We are pleased to be moving forward with leaders in the disability community to provide camping and retreat opportunities that share the love of God. Cindy Bonner is heading up this initiative.  Permits are in hand, and funding is in progress for the next two ADA cabins at Warm Beach Camp. We are pleased to support Peak 7 Adventures in faith-based wilderness adventures from the base camp of Rainier Camp & Retreat Center. We are grateful to be caring for the life-changing work of “Church For All” at Black Diamond Camp.

This year, we are focusing on key partnerships, expanded community outreach, care and support of staff, needed facility improvements, and preparation for funding future needs.

Please jump in on a year of discovery and exploration!

Relationships 

“Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”  Matthew 22:37-39 NLT  One of our primary challenges in life is that we look for everything but relationships to address the core issues of life.  Law, structure, rules, knowledge, pleasure, success, and self-determination are a good starter list of how we distract ourselves ...
