Missionary of the Month

Covenant Pines Ministries is comprised of four unique camping experiences. Each ministry exists to encourage all campers to take a next step in Christian faith. They are owned and operated by the Covenant Churches of the Twin Cities. Over the past 50+ years Covenant Pines has expanded to do ministry for adults as well as youth and has become a year-round ministry, serving people of all ages in all seasons of the year. In 1992, the land just to the southwest of CPBC known as Silver Beach was purchased and became our summer family area. In 2006, Adventurous Christians, which had been owned and operated by the Northwest Conference of the Covenant Church became part of Covenant Pines. Then, in 2008, we began running Day Camps in various locations around the Twin Cities. Together, Covenant Pines Bible Camp, Silver Beach, Adventurous Christians, and Day Camp makeup Covenant Pines Ministries. For more information on Covenant Pines Ministries visit their website at covenantpines.org.
