Forest Home provides a place, away from the distractions of the world, to hear the Word of God and encounter Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Core Essentials

FOUNDATION

Living Out the Word of God

Jesus is our Master, the Author of our Salvation, the Word who became flesh and walked among us. The timeless Truth of the Bible is His Message and is foundational to our mission.

Collaboration

We believe partnerships are essential to shaping meaningful camp experiences. These indispensable relationships with individuals, families, local churches, guest groups, and donors allow us to listen intently and weigh the many perspectives, needs, and ideas.

PEOPLE

The Heritage of Family

We champion the renewal and restoration of families by emphasizing the exceeding value of strong marriages and purposeful parenting. We are also intentional about demonstrating the “lost cultural art” of generational interaction and its role in creating healthy relationships and a spiritual legacy within each family.      

Esteeming the Next Generation

We must reaffirm the value of camping for those who come after us. They are the next churches, the next families, the next leaders and they will inherit what we leave them. We must recognize changing paradigms, release what is dated, and defend what is eternal.

EXPERIENCE

Excellence with Humility

We will always go above and beyond to serve our guests, blending humble grace with unexpected hospitality–we will surprise and delight our guests at even the most subtle points of interaction and anticipate every need. When they leave, they will take with them the prevailing sense that they have been uniquely freed to meet with God.

Formative Experiences

Most realizations about life, relationships, and God happen in the context of shared experiences. It is central to our mission to orchestrate a lifelong continuum of these memorable moments that resonate with our guests, motivate life change, and result in Kingdom impact. Characterized by deep laughter, cleansing tears, significant accomplishment, and a strong sense of togetherness, these moments give camping an invaluable role in spiritual formation.

PLACE

Sanctuary & Solitude

The “wilderness” has always had a unique way of disarming our hesitations, dissolving our reluctant spirits, and giving us a context for simplicity.  This remoteness displaces us far enough from our routine where we hear God better, see Him clearer, and breathe deeper. We help our guests realize the value of remoteness and silence the distractions of life, so they can find true rest in Him.

Familiarity

In a culture of transience, camp is becoming the next generation homestead - a place of familiarity where we enjoy community, shared experiences, and deep bonds with others. We want our guests to feel welcomed and known by name — a place that always makes you feel like you’ve just come “home.”
