What a fantastic week at Hillcrest Baptist Camp!

This past week, we had the privilege of serving at Hillcrest Baptist Camp in rural Hardin County, Illinois, and what an unforgettable week it was! Although we began the week facing an unexpected power outage, it certainly didn't stop God from working.

We are incredibly grateful for the flexibility and dedication of our staff, volunteers, counselors, and campers, who embraced the challenge with joyful hearts. During the outage, our campers, counselors, and guest speakers—Pastor Dylan Lanham (First Baptist Church of Elizabethtown), Pastor Chris McKenzie (First Baptist Church of Brookport), and Pastor Robby Shearon (Second Baptist Church of Hopkinsville)—relocated to First Baptist Church of Elizabethtown for worship services, meals, games, and fellowship. We wrapped up the day with a special trip for ice cream and chocolate at the Chocolate Factory near Golconda, creating memories that will not soon be forgotten.

Despite the unexpected circumstances, the Lord's work continued throughout the week. We were blessed to hear powerful testimonies, faithful biblical preaching, engaging classes, and to witness campers growing in their relationship with Christ. It was truly encouraging to see young people responding to God's Word and allowing the Holy Spirit to work in their hearts.

Serving the Lord at Hillcrest Baptist Camp this week has been a tremendous privilege and blessing. We thank God for all He accomplished and pray that the seeds planted this week will continue to bear fruit for years to come.

As camp comes to a close, we would love to invite you to worship with us this Sunday at First Baptist Church of Elizabethtown, located at the corner of Locust and Market Streets in Elizabethtown, Illinois.

🕙 Sunday School: 10:00 AM
⛪ Morning Worship: 11:00 AM

Whether you attended camp, are looking for a church home, or simply want to worship with us, you are warmly invited. We would be honored to welcome you as we gather to worship our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
