Pennsylvania Conference

Story by Tamyra Horst

Charles and Stephani Trescott are excited to join the Pennsylvania Conference team as its new Laurel Lake Camp directors. With a deep passion for ministry and years of experience, the Trescotts are eager to continue the camp’s legacy of helping young people encounter God and build lifelong memories.

"I started in camp ministry when I was 14,  volunteering in the kitchen and stables,” shares Stephani. “That summer sparked a passion that has grown into a career that has lasted nearly 15 years.”

This year’s camp meeting will include powerful speakers, practical and relevant seminars, and the opportunity to love Jesus more and live a life that magnifies His name to others. Join the event on the beautiful Blue Mountain Academy campus, June 6-14, for this life-impacting week.

Worship Speakers
Eric Walsh, associate pastor of the County Life church (Texas), starts the week Friday evening by exploring the significance of Christ’s role as High Priest and its impact on end-time events.

“Before coming to Blue Mountain Academy (BMA), I had a Bible and went to church, but I didn’t really like either of those things,” shares Malachi Christiansen. “I would go to church and not even listen. I would just long for the time I wasn’t at church.”

My first Sabbath experience at the Morris Park Seventh-day Adventist Church in Bronx, N.Y., impacted my life for eternity. Listening to the sermon, I knew I had found the right church. My journey to understanding the Sabbath was gradual, but as I slowly grasped its significance, the Sabbath became a solemn and holy experience.
