How Camps Are Shaping the Next Generation
The NAFWB Executive Office is inviting Free Will Baptist camps to participate in a study examining the impact of attending Free Will Baptist church camps and other Christian events on children and their families. Early results are already providing valuable insights about Bible engagement, prayer, church participation, mentoring, service, and interest in ministry.
The research is directed by Dr. Cheryl Jeffers. The study has received approval from the Marshall University Institutional Review Board.
Participating camps will help us develop a clearer national picture and identify practical ways camps, families, and churches can work together to strengthen lifelong discipleship. Camp directors interested in participating should email Dr. Edward Moody or call 877-767-7659 for more information.
