Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) blogs

About this blog

Brian Frick is the Associate for Camp and Conferences Ministries with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). He has been involved in camp and conference ministry since high school. For the past ten years, Brian has served as program director of Johnsonburg Center in New Jersey, Westminster Woods in California, and Heartland Center in Missouri.

Camp and conference ministry compliments and partners with other ministry aspects of our church to foster faith development and reflection. As our communities and our church changes, our ministries need to grow and adapt with creative and emergent programming and leadership to meet new realities.

These blogs entries, though varied, are intended to spur thought and conversation around the opportunities and challenges before us.

Our deepest sympathies go out to the families, staff, and participants affected by the recent shootings at a youth camp outside of Oslo, Norway.   There are no words to express the tragedy of such senseless violence.  We pray for peace for the families of those killed and injured as they grapple with the violence and loss inflicted upon their loved ones.
