Annual Faith Development Opportunities

Camp Carew

Each summer, many of our children and youth attend Camp Carew. Located just south of Carbondale on Little Grassy Lake, Camp Carew is a place for children and youth to experience the Christian faith in community. Through group living in the small unit, campers and leaders are challenged to work, plan, play, study, sing, and worship together. Registration information is available on the Camp Carew website. Scholarships are available to help offset the cost of going to camp; click here for the scholarship application.

Advent and Lenten Devotional Materials

During the seasons of Advent and Lent, we offer suggestions for devotional materials to be used individually at home. Often these materials are available for purchase from the church at a nominal cost. Online resources are available here.
