Connect Camp 2017: att Camp Better

With hearts full of both excitement and apprehension, First Baptist Church Eastman launched the very first Connect Camp in July of 2015.

Don't Sink Your Kids' Ministry; Plan!

Don’t Sink Your Kids’ Ministry; Plan!

Without Planning, our kids’ ministry will drift about aimlessly until it runs aground. When parents and various organizations pitch things to us, we will not know which way to steer. Do we go to this camp? Should we have a lock-in? What about the summer? If we have no strategy, we will answer these questions differently every year. Or perhaps an even worse thing will happen.  We will start…

Our campers were exposed to great…

Connect Camp: A Quick Look Back at What Happened

When FBCE launched Connect Camp on the July 2nd, we were diving into uncharted waters. We weren’t sure who would come, what would happen, and how people would feel about it.

Connect Camp: Moving Past VBS!

We had a great VBS this year. We hosted over 250 kids and raised $413.80 for our IMB missionaries. And everything from the snacks to crafts went well. I had several parents tell me their kids had an amazing week! I am very thankful for all those who selflessly served to make VBS 2015 a resounding success! For more infor about VBS 2015 Click Here!
