There is nothing more central to our faith than this truth: Jesus is alive, he conquered death, and that because of him, we have hope, freedom, and new life!
“…just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may life a new life.” Romans 6:4b NIV
“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9 NIV
“And he died for us, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again…Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: the old has gone, the new is here!” 2 Corinthians 5:15-17 NIV
Christian FAMILY Fellowship
The Father designed us for family and community through the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Each of us is such an important part of what God is building here at Christian Family Fellowship Ministry. This is not a place we come to; it is a family we belong to.
We were so blessed to host our family friend and CFFM board member Pastor Brent Joseph for an Angels Among Us Conference recently. It was a revealing time of spiritual growth in the Scriptures regarding the powerful ministry of angels and their kingdom work.
“Praise the Lord, you his angels, you his mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.” Psalm 103:20 NIV
Every One Matters
As we reflect on the victory of Christ, we are reminded how important it is for people to have the opportunity to meet him through us and the Word of God, to have the opportunity for restoration in every area of life, and to grow in their walk as a child of God.
That truth applies not just to adults, but to every person in the family of God! This is one of the reasons why CFFM continues our Youth Excelling Spiritually (YES!) Camp, open to 12-25 year olds, and now in its 29th year.
Last year, students brought joy to those around them by bringing Jesus to the World! This year, from July 21-26, we believe it will continue to be a life-changing experience for our young people.
It is more than just a week away from home; it is a powerful time where students encounter God, grow in their faith, build lasting friendships, and begin to understand their purpose and identity in Him. We are full of expectation for God to move in incredible ways in the hearts of this next generation.
We would also greatly appreciate your financial support in helping send our young people to camp. The cost per student is $375, and we never want finances to stand in the way of a life-changing experience. Your generosity helps ensure that every young person who desires to attend has the opportunity to experience what God has for them.
Whether you have given before this or it’s your first time, you are investing in the next generation. You are helping raise up young men and women who will walk closely with God, stand strong in their faith, and carry His love into their homes, schools, and communities.
Last year, 75% of the camp was scholarshipped! We are so grateful to offer the love and light of Jesus in a beautiful rural setting to young people from all different backgrounds. When we say “Jesus to the world,” we mean it!
“One generation commends your work to another; they tell of your mighty acts.” Psalm 145:4 NIV
We truly believe that what happens at YES! Camp has lasting impact far beyond those few days, and together, we can help make it possible for many to attend.
“We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, his power, and the wonders he has done.” Psalm 78:4 NIV
