Family Bible Camp at The Camp at Findley

07/29/2026

At this year's talent show, Silas Miller shared an original song that resonated deeply across our camp family. For those who have been coming to Family Bible Camp for years, Silas's story makes this moment even more special. When he was just a toddler, his family was pulling into the campgrounds for camp. As soon as they arrived on the property, Silas looked around and said, "I see God." Those simple words have stayed with so many of us through the years. Since then, we've had the privilege of watching him grow up at camp—from a little boy experiencing God's presence in a special way to a young man using his God-given gifts to worship and encourage others.

Family Bible Camp has always been about more than a week away. It's about lives being shaped, faith being nurtured, and generations growing together in Christ. Watching Silas share this song was a beautiful reminder of that.

Thank you, Silas, for reminding us that every year at camp is a gift—and every reunion here is a foretaste of the eternal reunion we'll one day share in heaven. ❤

We’re honored to welcome our final speaker for Family Bible Camp 2026 — Bishop Emeritus Mike Lowry, our evening preacher!✝️

John Michael (“Mike”) Lowry was raised in northern Illinois and graduated from Taipei American School in 1968 after his family moved to Taiwan. He attended Earlham College, where a conversion experience led him into ministry with the Society of Friends. He earned a B.A. in Political Science and Religion (1972), an M.Div. from Perkins School of Theology (1976), and a Doctor of Ministry from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary (1985).
He married Jolynn Darland, and they have two children and several grandchildren. Lowry served in pastoral roles across Texas before becoming executive director of New Church Development and Transformation in the Southwest Texas Conference. In 2008, he was elected bishop and served 13½ years as Resident Bishop of the Central Texas Conference, while also holding leadership roles across the United Methodist Church and on numerous boards.
Throughout his ministry, he led church growth initiatives, capital campaigns, and received several awards for evangelism and community impact. After retiring in 2022, he became Bishop in Residence at United Theological Seminary and later joined the Global Methodist Church as Bishop Emeritus, serving on its Transitional Leadership Council. He remains passionate about encouraging faithfulness to Christ, often reminding others to “breathe deep—Jesus is still Lord.”

📣We’re excited to finally introduce our Bible Hour speaker for Family Bible Camp 2026—Dr. Andrew Walton!📣

Andrew is originally from Emmaus, PA, but has also lived in Massachusetts and now in New York. He grew up in a Christian household where the foundations of faith were laid early, but it was during his time at Houghton College that he first sensed a distinct calling to a life of teaching the Bible. There, he not only fell in love with Scripture, but also discovered a deep enduring desire to help others see the grand story of the Bible and to recognize that they are called to be a part of it. That calling was further affirmed and refined during his theological training at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, where he earned his master’s degree and at Harvard University, where he completed a PhD in Hebrew Bible. While pursuing his doctoral studies, Andrew served as a youth leader for twelve years and as an interim pastor for one year. He is now an ordained minister in the Wesleyan church. Andrew now serves as a Professor of Bible at Houghton University where he lives with his wife and four kids.

We’re looking forward to the way God will use Dr. Walton’s teaching during Bible Hour this summer!
