Principle Ministries
J Day Camps are designed for pre-Christian (non-churched) children. They include music, games, crafts, Bible stories and lessons, recreation, and refreshments.
J Beach Ministry includes a variety of activities on and near the beach designed to build evangelistic relationships with beach goers. Sand and Surf Clubs, volleyball, sand sculpturing; Ultimate Frisbee, free ice water and free sunburn protection are all proven methods of reaching people.
J Family Evening Programs (FEP) are variety shows in the campground with the purpose of providing family entertainment and attracting prechristian (secular) families with whom to share the love of Jesus during and after the program. They consist of music, drama, puppets, mime, and interpretive movement. Variety of music is essential. We require a 50% secular/50% sacred split in musical content. Program length needs to be around 45 minutes.
