Washington Conference Camp Meeting 2025 to Focus on Pentecost

By Randy Maxwell, April 01, 2025

The urgency of the hour and the priority of the Holy Spirit are reflected in this year’s Washington Conference Camp Meeting theme, “The time is NOW!” Held June 16–21, 2025 at Auburn Adventist Academy, the theme is a passionate call to prayer and revival on the eve of the Lord’s return.

Craig Newborn, retired pastor, professor and founding director of Oakwood Branch Office of the Ellen G. White Estate, will carry attendees into the courts of heaven for a revelation of Jesus that will stun and thrill hearers in the nightly meetings.

At the fall 2024 worker’s meeting, pastors were spellbound by Newborn’s presentations. Newborn gave pastors the chance to cheer for the Champion, and they want to bring that experience to camp meeting. With Christ even at the door, the time is now to know and love Him more.

Paul Dybdahl, Walla Walla University mission and New Testament professor, will bring fresh “manna” at the early-morning devotional hour, and the newly famous backyard barbecue will open the week-long convocation on Monday evening.

This year’s seminar presenters include Stan Hudson, North Pacific Union creation ministries director, on creation science; and César and Carolann De León, North American Division family ministries director and associate director, on marriage and mental health. Donn Leiske, popular local presenter on end-time living; Richard Kurtz, retired pastor; and others will present on health, witnessing, family and biblical topics. 

Musical offerings by local groups and choirs will stir the soul, and yes, Jonah’s Bait Shop will again be a magnet for the little ones.

Many surprises await those who seek the Savior at this year’s camp meeting. Join Washington Conference in praying and preparing for Pentecost. The time is now!
