Staff Opportunities

Choosing to serve the Lord at Woodcrest is an important decision.   Our summer camp staff members are vital. They are the people who represent Jesus to the kids at camp.  We  believe it is God who calls individuals to serve here.  Simply, but intently, ask God if He wants you to be a part of His work at Woodcrest this summer.

We are looking for energetic Christians, who desire to share their faith in word and deed as they serve in various roles in an outdoor setting,  full of fun, creativity, challenge, growth, and love.  Summer camp is a place of positive Christian influence unlike any other!  Come and find out for yourself!

Why Should I Help?

Why Should I help?
Because God calls us to.  Jesus said, . . . “In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost.” in Matthew 18:14.  And in Matthew 19:14 Jesus says, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

Why here in this community?
400,000 out of 480,000 people in Lancaster county are unchurched. (84%)  Based on information from LYNC Lancaster Youth Network of Churches).

Why kids ages 6-15?
If a child hasn’t been introduced to Jesus Christ by the time he or she is 14, there is only a 4% chance that such conversion will happen between the ages of 14 and 18 and a 6% chance that it will occur in the remainder of life.  According to the Barna Research Group study Nov. 1999.
