Dear Friends,
We are thankful for one of Beechpoint’s best years EVER! We are blessed to be celebrating our fiftieth anniversary, and we feel prepared and ready to take on the needs and challenges of the next generation! We are encouraged, as our support has been broader and deeper in recent years, enabling us as a ministry to reach more children than ever before. This year over 200 youth made decisions for Christ! Hundreds of scholarships were provided! Scores and scores of volunteers served faithfully! Staff prepared, planned, persevered, prayed, played, and partnered in spectacular ways! And, the mission was accomplished in changed lives!
Now, we are prompted to prepare for expanded opportunity for impact in the lives of urban and at-risk youth. As a ministry, we sense the need to proceed with urgency— as our society is leading the children away from the Lord. The Gospel must be presented to more kids through the effective methods of summer camp, school-year retreats, Partners in Discipleship, neighborhood follow-up, and outreach opportunities! The completion of camp’s new dining room/kitchen, and the addition of several more cabins, will allow some increase of opportunity. We sense, however, that God has even more in store. Please pray with us as we follow His lead and seek to find those young “sheep” who need the Shepherd. Thank you for partnering with us as we move forward with great excitement and anticipation!
We are blessed by your continued prayers! Regardless of the quality of our program, instruction, facilities, and staff — changed and cleansed hearts come through the supernatural moving of the Holy Spirit. Please intercede on behalf of these incredible children! What can I say? Pray the Lord of the Harvest send laborers into the harvest. We are looking out over the next fifty years—and the fields are golden!
We are asking you to continue in a “long-haul” partnership with us! Please join us as we take steps into the next decade of outreach. The first step of that long haul is to invite the children who need to hear of Christ and to find the funds to provide the scholarships needed for the eighty percent who cannot afford to pay their own way. It is going to be another great year as we move ahead with great expectations! Thank you for joining us! Blessings to you as you continue in faithfulness to our Lord!
Celebrating His goodness,
Mark - For all of us at Beechpoint
A big thanks to everyone who volunteered at this year’s Rake ‘n Rock. It was a great success - we moved A TON of leaves into the woods!
We had excellent fall weather for raking.
Everyone jumped in to help!
Summer staff, teen Leaders in Training, kids in our Partners in Discipleship, and a local church youth group helped with the piles and piles of leaves.
All the leaves were drug from around campus into the woodline.
After lunch, volunteers participated in bikes, the zip line, and rock climbing.
OTHER NEWS: Construction on the new dining hall continues to progress. Praise God for the many volunteers who are currently helping with the deck. Pray for the remaining funds necessary for completion.
Come to work, stay to play!
It is time once again for our annual fall clean-up day! Bring your family, your friends, or your church group for this great volunteer event. After the work is done stay for lunch, door prizes provided by Way.Fm, use the rock climbing wall and enjoy other weather appropriate camp activities !

Over 300 guests joined us to celebrate all that God has done over the past 50 years … and to look expectantly toward the future. Speakers from many decades shared how Beechpoint has impacted lives over the years. The keynote speaker, Dr. Melvin Banks, challenged listeners to engage with children’s ministry as an investment in the future. It was an evening of encouragement as we remembered all that God has done at Camp Beechpoint!
