#6 - People Over Programs: BCMB Bible Camp Ministry ft. Jonathan Kornelsen, Kate Reid & David Seeley


“Camp changed the trajectory of my life because I was able to experience things that I hadn’t done before,” says Kate Reid, Director of Camp Likely.

Whether it’s being out of your regular environment and in God’s creation, or the new experiences and opportunities to face your fears, or the lasting relationships and discipleship – the camp experience has long been a place for life transformation.

In fact, many leaders in your church today may be able to trace a key spiritual or leadership moment back to their days at camp. But how can we bridge the divide between the local church and camp ministry? How can we invest in people, not just programs?

On today’s episode, we’re sitting down with BCMB Bible Camp Directors, Kate Reid (Camp Likely) and David Seely (Stillwood), alongside BCMB Camp Society Chair and Youth Pastor for Central Community Church, Jonathan Kornelsen, to discuss how camp ministry dovetails with the work of the local church in building God’s Kingdom.
