Why Camp-in-a-Van?
This unique Bethelwoods Program has existed for almost 60 years. Camp in a Van exists to build relationships, teach the love of God to young people, and immerse young people in God’s creation (even if only for a few hours!). Camp in a Van is a weeklong unique blend of outdoor and congregational ministry. Designed for young people grades K5-5th*, Camp in a Van is a joint effort between Bethelwoods and our congregation. Bethelwoods provides all of the programming (staff, supplies, game equipment, curriculum resources, and activities) while we provide support services. Registration deadline is May 30.

Repairing homes on S. Helena Island, June 15-22

Home is the place where we feel most comfortable, loved, and protected, but what if your roof leaks in the storms or your feet fall through the cracked floors or your front steps are dangerously wobbly?
Over the years, hundreds of homes across the state have received new roofs, ramps, flooring, ceilings, bathrooms, kitchens, and improvements in accessibility. On behalf of our community of faith the Sea Island Mission Committee, with endorsement from the Session Council, is happy to coordinate this effort again this summer with our church campus hosting over (50) youth and advisors. Sea Island youth have also been involved in this ministry in previous years.
Volunteers must be 14 years old, and all adult volunteers must do a background check. Cost is $250 per volunteer. Please see Dean or Jo Feaster (contact information is listed above or reach out to Hugh Gouldthorpe 804.317.2258 or hugh312@gmail.com. Pastor Steve is available for questions as well.
