The Bold Transformational Faith program (BTF) was implemented in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Though we are unable to safely gather at the Luther Crest site, we know that "where two or three are gathered," God is also there (Matthew 18:20). Even if that gathering is creative and done through Zoom and other online platforms, we know that God is with us!
The BTF will have a variety of components. All of BTF will be available through the Luther Crest website, Zoom, and Remind. When we say "gather" we mean online. Safety is our primary concern and this includes your camper's online safety. First of all, there will be content that is accessible to all people (registered and not). This will be things like daily worship, camp activities, and more. Secondly, for registered participants, there will be weekly interactions with our summer ministry team. You will register for one day of the week throughout the month of July. At 10am you will gather for Community Unity (a group community building activity) and at 1pm you will gather again with the same group for Bible Dive (Bible study). These groups will be your "cabin" groups. Weekly itineraries will be sent detailing times of activities, dress up days, games, special events, and any other pertinent information for campers. There will also be family camp Bible studies provided on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings. Tuesday and Thursday will be for all families. Wednesday for families with campers in 4th grade and younger.
Our theme for the summer is Go! Make Disciples! We will study Matthew 28:19-20 which says, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” We are committed to leaning into this great commission given by Jesus to his disciples even if "going" looks a little different right now.
