Central Oregon Churches Unite for Regional Camp Meeting

By Ionica Gladden, December 12, 2024

Central Oregon Adventist church members gathered for Central Oregon Camp Meeting this past August at Cascade Adventist Church in southeast Bend.

A large tent provided shade and a bit of camp meeting atmosphere for the weekend and attendees enjoyed meals together and the convenience of campsites for tents and self-contained RVs onsite.

C.A. Murray, Secrets Unsealed vice president of media; Ryan Day, 3ABN Praise Him Music Network general manager; and Charles Byrd, Thunder in the Holy Land creator, delivered compelling messages on the theme, "Heaven in One Gift." Music by Stephanie Dawn, Danny Thornton and Ryan Day rounded out the event’s focus on Jesus and His people in these contemporary times.

Those in attendance were enthusiastic about the inspiration they received along with the opportunities for fellowship with the speakers and other participants, due to the smaller size of the event.

Central Oregon Camp Meeting 2025 is planned for June 26–28, featuring David Shin, Weimar University professor of religion; John Lomacang, Thompsonville Adventist Church pastor; Dustin Pestlin, Hope Through Prophecy president; Laura Williams, Christian singer and songwriter; and Ernie Hernandez, North American Division volunteer ministries director.

Watch the 2024 presentations online at youtube.com/@COCampMeeting or visit CentralOregonCampMeeting.com to learn more.
