Westfield, WI 53964For years, we have gathered at Camp Fairwood and watched God meet us in powerful ways. There is something special about stepping away from the noise, slowing down, and creating space for the Lord to speak.
This fall, men and women are invited to join us for a weekend centered on Jesus, the Comfort in Suffering. Together, we will spend time in worship, biblical teaching, prayer, fellowship, and rest as we discover the comfort, hope, and strength found in Christ.

Guests may also arrive one day early on Thursday, October 1, for an additional $40. This optional early arrival includes time to rest, unplug, fellowship, and worship before the retreat officially begins. Meals are not provided Thursday or Friday before supper, so please plan accordingly.
Throughout the weekend, guests can enjoy archery, the gun and skeet range, an escape room, fishing, boating, hiking trails, frisbee golf, games, great food, and plenty of time to connect with others.
Please bring bedding or a sleeping bag, a pillow, towel, toiletries, weather-appropriate clothing, games, and any recreational equipment you would like to use. Most importantly, bring your Bible, a pen, and a heart ready for everything the Lord wants to do.
Whether you are longing for spiritual growth, meaningful fellowship, or simply a place to breathe, we encourage you to make this weekend a priority. Bring a friend and come discover the comfort of Jesus in every season.

WILL RESTART FIRST WEEK OF SEPTEMBER! Happy Summer!
Elevate & Embrace is a space for women to gather in truth, love, and sisterhood. It’s an evening set apart for encouragement, growth, and real connection—where we come as we are and let the Lord meet us there.
We laugh… we cry… we pray… and we get honest about the highs and lows of life, faith, motherhood, marriage, and everything in between. Whether it’s diving into scripture, sharing what God is doing in our hearts, or simply sitting in the stillness together… this space is for being built up and reminded we’re not alone.
We come to elevate our minds and hearts to things above… and to embrace the process of becoming more like Jesus together.
Kids are welcome to come and play with others while we meet… we’ve got the space and we love the joy they bring!

IS GENESIS HISTORY? Series
Join us Thursdays at 6:00 PM at the Koivunen’s house!
From the creator of The Truth Project, Dr. Del Tackett leads this powerful series exploring the opening chapters of Genesis as real history. Together we’ll look at creation, the flood, Adam and Eve, and how these events connect to the rest of God’s Word. With insights from leading scientists and scholars, the series helps us see how Scripture and science fit together and strengthens our confidence in the authority of the Bible. Come ready for teaching, discussion, and encouragement as we grow in a deeper understanding of God’s truth.
