We have lost members in the past, but we need to concentrate on building new churches and attracting new members into the United Methodist Church. As members of Christ's Church, we are all called to be ministers unto the lost, needy and unchurched. Our major goal is to reach the unchurched and what better way to achieve this goal. We need to improve the camps we have for children, youth and adult ministries. This is really a needed area since they have not been renovated in many years.
Camps are the life of the outreach ministries of the church.
Many lives have been changed by the experiences at a camp. Yes, this is a bold leap of faith when we look at the dollars spent on these three projects, but what better way to build God's Kingdom. It is the belief that we can get much of the money through wills as individuals give money in memory of loved ones, through estates, corporations, foundations as well as the lay-people of the Methodist Church.
