Compassion In Action Service Camp is for kids entering the 5th and 6th Grades in Fall 2010. It is a fun-filled, service-oriented, week-long adventure helping others. CIA Campers will be sharing God's love and wonderful message of salvation with all those they come in contact with. Youth are challenged in their faith to develop servant hearts for Christ. Past projects have included meals-on-wheels delivery, working at the Food Bank, organizing school kits for orphan children overseas, conducting a car wash to raise funds for the new children's hospital, building a prayer garden on campus, and other unique and challenging service projects.

Youth take a hands-on approach to serving the Lord and they work hard! We are always amazed at how hard these youth work and it is evident that they grow in their faith. This age group desires to have a purpose in the Church and in the community.

What does it cost?

The most important offering you can give Bethany is by lifting prayers for the families and children served at CIA Camp as well as Bethany's ministries as a whole. Praise be to Christ that we as a congregation have the opportunity to volunteer and serve in this ministry. We are grateful to you for entrusting your children to us.

Bethany's CIA Camp is free of charge. Our ministry is funded through our tithing members and regular guests as well as through voluntary donations. If you would like to offer a donation to this ministry, a suggested amount is $15, checks payable to Bethany Lutheran Church. You will have opportunity during CIA Camp to make a donation or you can submit one to the church office marked for VBS/CIA. God has blessed this ministry and continues to do so, always providing a way for us to carry out a program that brings glory to Him.
