Join us for our Annual All-Church Campout at Schwarz Park Campground, just 20 minutes from Creswell! This is a special time each year when our church family steps away from the busyness of everyday life to connect, relax, and grow together in community.
Set in the beauty of the outdoors, this weekend is all about fellowship, fun, and faith. Whether you’re pitching a tent, bringing an RV, or just coming out for the day, there’s something for everyone. Enjoy shared meals, campfire worship, games for all ages, and plenty of time to unwind and build meaningful relationships. We end the weekend together with Sunday morning worship service around the campfire.
This campout is a wonderful opportunity to deepen friendships, meet new people, and create lasting memories together. From laughter around the fire to quiet moments in nature, we believe God uses these times to refresh and strengthen our community.
All are welcome—families, singles, kids, and friends. Come as you are and be part of this special tradition!
