SUMMIT GROVE FAMILY CAMP 

Summit Grove Camp exists to glorify God by mentoring, encouraging and equipping God's people through their ministry programs. Family Camp is a fantastic way to do include the whole family in that mission. Family Camp  is July 18-25. It's a week long event filled with concerts and speakers, including the current President of C&MA, Dr. John Stumbo and youth speaker Rev. Jason Ostrander. Click here for more information on Summit Grove and Family Camp.

On Sunday, July 19th we would like to get a group together to listen to Dr. Stumbo speak. We can drive together in the church bus, eat dinner at Pisanos and enjoy his teaching of the evening. More information to be announced as we get closer to the summer.
