Welcome to our 2025 camp meeting!

This year, we gather under the theme "Blessed Assurance.” In a world filled with uncertainty, we are reminded that God’s promises never fail—His love is constant, His grace is sufficient, and His presence is ever near. As we come together in worship, fellowship, and spiritual renewal, may we find strength in the assurance of our salvation and the faithfulness of our Savior.

"Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!"
