Why Become
a Luther Park Member Congregation
|
- Camping Programs
Luther Park becomes an outreach of your church’s ministry.
You are ensured a continuum of excellent outdoor ministry programming
for your youth and adults.
- Retreat Facilities
Luther Park becomes an extension of your own church buildings;
a safe and familiar and spiritual place to get away.
- Lower Fees
Congregation members pay lower camping and retreat fees than non-members.
- Current Information
Luther Park keeps you informed about
outdoor ministry events and opportunities through the Echoes and
Reflections newsletters, brochures, news releases, flyers, posters,
visits from Luther Park staff, and more.
- Leadership Development
Congregations with close ties to a Bible camp find their own clergy
and lay leadership are developed and strengthened by the opportunities
for renewal and learning provided at camp.
- Decision-Making
Member congregations can take part in the decision-making and
shaping of Luther Park and its programs, property and facilities
by voting at meetings and serving on camp boards and committees.
