Mission

To conduct Christian service camps, assemblies, institutes, rallies, programs of Evangelism, schools of Christian doctrine and methods. Christian seminars, and classes in vocal and instrumental music to recruit and train youth for the Christian ministry.

What it reported doing in 2025

In a normal year the Camp Epachiseca is operated for three full weeks of camp for campers ages 10 through 18 and a day camp for ages 7 through 10. The program consisted of teaching and practicing the Christian way of life through presentations, worship, praise teams and service projects. The Campers also had physical activities including swimming, bowling, volleyball, softball, disc golf and gaga ball. About 20 campers were baptized or committed their lives to Christ and service to Him.
