Last fall, Conference leaders announced a strategic realignment of Conference ministry to meet continued financial challenges. In the ensuing months, the team has been hard at work to develop the vision and clarify how Conference ministry leadership and support will continue.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to Camp Meeting so far. In January, members contributed over $18,000 to the Camp Meeting fund. Including matching funds, we’ve raised $97,300 toward our goal of $390,000. 

By carefully staging deliveries of public safety and sanitation resources like radios, golf carts, port-a-potties and trash cans to arrive “just in time,” we’re able to reduce the cost by a small amount. By adjusting programming plans to reduce our dependence on rented meeting tents, we reduced additional cost.

As coordinators made final preparations to open the activities, Pathfinders already were lining up to participate and nearly Pathfinders were in the queue by the time the activity officially opened!

Changes are happening on the Gladstone Campus. This week, crews arrived to begin the preparations for the new Gladstone Pavilion.
