Pennsylvania Conference

A memory from the 2021 Pennsylvania Conference Camp Meeting

Story by Tamyra Horst

Each summer, church families from across Pennsylvania gather on the campus of Blue Mountain Academy for one of the most anticipated spiritual events of the year—the Pennsylvania Conference Camp Meeting. Scheduled for June 12–20, this powerful and fun week offers a chance to step away from the busyness of life, reconnect with God and enjoy meaningful time with fellow believers.

Think of one of your most favorite places in the world. A place where God’s purpose for your life merges with a sense of belonging and enjoyment. A place that just feels like home. For Scott Haakenson, Blue Mountain Academy (BMA) is that special place. As the new boys’ dean, this marks his fourth time living or serving on the campus in Hamburg, Pa.

The Pennsylvania Conference recently witnessed God move among His people in remarkable ways. In September, churches across Pennsylvania opened their doors for our grand reunions, welcoming back former members, friends, and neighbors.

To support this outreach, we launched a statewide media campaign in late September—reaching across social media, billboards, radio and television. At the same time, over one million handbills were delivered to homes throughout Pennsylvania—we truly are committed to reaching everyone, everywhere!
