THIS IS OUR STORY

By God's grace, we've reached 98% of our goal for the Boys' Dorm, the first new building on our campgrounds in over 50 years.

For 80 years, since 1946, these grounds have been a sacred sanctuary: countless miracles, Holy Ghost baptisms, and ministry callings, more than we could ever count. This new 22,000-square-foot, two-story dorm will hold nearly 300 beds, doubling our capacity, so the next generation has room to encounter God the way we did.

Where we stand:
✅ Site cleared
✅ Architectural plans drawn
✅ Engineering nearly complete
✅ Final approvals close

Now we're in the final stretch. Would you help us finish what God started?
