Theme for 2026 Camps — “TIMELESS”

We worship an unchanging God—faithfully revealed from the beginning to the end.
Across time, generations, and expressions of praise,
His love endures—despite our failures.
His truth remains, and His faithfulness continues.
From Always to Forever.

RESONATE 2026 — “ALWAYS”

“It is He who made us, and we are His.” — Psalm 100:3
From the very beginning, relationship has always been at the center of God’s plan—
that we would be with Him,
share in His purpose,
rest in His goodness,
and care for His creation.
Even when we fall short, His love does not fail.
His purpose does not change.
God has remained faithful.
Always.

We’re excited to welcome Annelyse Spencer (North and Central Illinois Division) and Braden Cook (Great Lakes Division) as interns this summer!

Annelyse recently completed her Bachelor of Science in Education at Northern Illinois University and currently serves as a Music Instructor within her division. Braden is studying music at Central Michigan University and brings experience in percussion, worship leadership, and event support through both school and Salvation Army settings. They’ll be traveling to various divisions to teach at music camps and conservatories, while also helping plan Central Music Institute and Resonate Worship Arts Conservatory.

Their first day is June 1! We’re thankful for the skills and heart they'll bring to our ministry.
