Family Fest Mission

Family Fest is a Christ-centered, multi-denominational ministry focused on strengthening individuals, families and marriages. Through family camps, couples’ retreats, youth events, family service opportunities, biblical resources, family service opportunities, and cooperative church programs, we help families and individuals bring their Christian faith into everyday life.

• ENRICHING families with opportunities to have fun and spend quality time together.
• EQUIPPING families to learn more about Jesus and integrate faith into everyday life.
• EMPOWERING families to serve and lead in hands-on, joyful ways.
• EMBRACING families with a network of support, friends, and mentors.

Christ-Centered: Jesus Christ, as our Lord and God, is the center of all we do, our source for all love, wisdom, peace, and hope that we seek to bring into the lives of all our ministry touches.

Family-focused: Our vision is to reach out to families, to nurture their lives of faith by giving them time together to love and better understand God and each other.

Biblically Based: The word of God in the Bible is our authority and direction, and we seek to follow His will in all we do.

Multi-denominational: The ministry of Family Fest includes all who seek to know and follow Jesus Christ as Lord. Our programs focus on what we have in common in the body of Christ, as we seek to collaborate with churches on faith-nurturing activities for families, marriages, and youth.

Community: Family Fest is intentional about building Christian community across generations to individuals and families as they strive to minister to others.

Servant Leadership: Family Fest is a ministry by families, to families, encouraging and equipping volunteers to share in the ministry of Jesus Christ in their own way, in their daily life and family.

Innovative & Passionate: Family Fest seeks to provide the best that God offers in our programs and message, with an emphasis on excellence, fun, and expanding family ministry so that God’s work through us is exciting and inviting to all. Since 1997, Family Fest has had a significant impact on families through our Winter Weekend Family Retreats, Summer Splash Family Camps, and Marriage Booster Retreats.

Evangelism: Evangelism is the heart of our mission. We seek to share the Good News of Jesus with children, KCs (kid’s counselors), and adults.

Hospitality: When participants arrive at a Family Fest event or retreat, we welcome them with a warm smile and a friendly greeting. Our goal is to provide a comfortable place where people feel loved, valued, and cared for.
