This is a fantastic opportunity to come together at camp as adults, both young and old, and dig deeper into the word of God. We’ll be working through a practical theology of holiness, seeking to understand what the call to holy living looks like in our daily lives. This weekend will be modeled after the Bridge gatherings, where we prioritize facilitated discussion in order to help each individual share their own stories and process through the content together. Over the course of the weekend we’ll have five sessions, comprised of 30 minutes of lecture time and 45 minutes of facilitated discussion. Our hope is that this weekend will help deepen relationships of those who attend and make campmeeting all the more impactful come July.

Lewis lives in Dublin, Georgia with his wife, Anna, and son, Lewie. He received his Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy from Virginia Tech and Master of Divinity from Denver Seminary. One of Lewis’ passion is researching and writing about what it means to be the body of Christ in the present day. When he isn’t reading or playing with his son, you can find Lewis out back working on bringing his old truck back to life.

This new ministry, founded in 2018, bridges the gap between youth and adults. It serves as a transition point to engage young adults in fruitful conversation and study while providing time to engage with the adult services in the Main Tabernacle. Through our conversations, we will integrate what we know of the Gospel with the world around us.

Meeting Details: 

• 8:00-9:15am on the Crouse Porch (Cabin 138), across from Winky’s shop. We have a big sign hanging on the porch, you can’t miss it.
• Each summer we’ll have a different study, written by Lewis, for your engagement. We’ll publish the study prior to camp so that you can begin thinking about our topic before arriving.
• As opposed to other gatherings around the campground where the focus is on teaching, our gatherings are facilitated discussion, centered around our discussion guide. This provides an opportunity to process our topic together and ask hard questions. We prize discussion and the exploration of our faith together as the body of Christ.

An Invitation from Lewis: In a world that does its best to keep our attention…come and be known. We invite you to come, to ask hard questions, and to continue the journey to discover the abundant life Jesus offers to us. All we ask is that you come and engage. The Holy Spirit will help with the rest.
