About the Event

We cordially invite pastors and leaders within the Wesleyan tradition to join us for Holy Camp — a biannual revival gathering designed to renew Wesleyans in both heart and mind. The Friday and Saturday evening services focus on worship, prayer, and a fresh response to God's call to holiness, while the Saturday seminar is structured to help pastors deepen their understanding of the doctrine of holiness and its place in the life and mission of the Church.
