Family Week #2

Join us for our 2026 Summer Conference Season!

Our theme is “Dwell: Restored by the Shepherd” focusing on Psalm 23, “… He restores my soul… My cup overflows…”

Speakers: Pastor Dave Ridder & Rev. Frank 

Dave and his wife, Diane, are transplants from the Midwest. They came to NJ from St. Paul, Minnesota, where Dave led Bethel Seminary as Dean from 2007 to 2011. Prior to his time at Bethel, Dave and Diane resided in Bucks County, Pennsylvania where Dave served for 23 years as the Senior Pastor of Grace Point Church in Newtown. Dave earned his Doctor of Ministry degree from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois.

Frank joined the staff at Foundations Church in Loveland, Colorado in January 2021. In August 2022 he became part of the pastoral team as Care Pastor. Frank and his wife, Krista, have been married for 30+ years and have four grown children and two grandchildren. Frank is from New York and served fulltime at Ravencrest Chalet of the ministry Torchbearers International in Estes Park for 30 years before moving down to Loveland. He is passionate about sharing Christ and caring for people in any way as they come to know and grow in their practical understanding of Christ’s amazing love.

Music & Worship by:

Niah & Allisha Merrill

Crossing the genres of traditional, classical, and modern hymns, the Merrills’ music focuses hearts to bring praise to the Creator of music. Niah and Allisha partner with many talented writers, orchestrators and musicians around the country to produce quality music that is both God-honoring and relevant. They sing and play an assortment of instruments (including the piano, trumpets, flugelhorn, hand drums, and Irish penny whistles) in a variety of inspirational musical styles.

What to expect this summer at America’s Keswick:

• Morning and evening sessions with our speakers
• We will be having Children’s and Teen’s Ministry
• Activities for all ages! Such as guided nature walks, scavenger hunts, a large inflatable slide in the lake, devotions, and more!
• Delicious meals prepared on campus served in our dining room

Children’s & Teen’s Ministry:

It’s not Sunday School… It’s not VBS… It’s Children’s Ministry – America’s Keswick style! One of our passions is to teach children from a young age who Jesus is, why it is important to follow Him, and how to apply biblical principles to their lives. We take the time to hand-pick fun and responsible leaders who are passionate about teaching YOUR kids. We get to know your children personally so we can teach them at a level that they can understand, and we also have a whole lot of fun along the way.

On top of our biblical lessons, we have high-energy games, creative crafts, delicious snacks, funny skits, and everything in between – all designed to follow and reinforce the lesson for the day. We also spend time preparing for our end-of-week presentation, where you can hear your kids share a passage of Scripture that they’ve memorized and a song that they’ve learned while in Children’s Ministry… but be sure to get there early, because before the meeting we also have a special bell-ringing ceremony where we celebrate the children who have come to Christ that week.

Our Children’s Ministry curriculum welcomes infants through age 11, and ages 12-17 can enjoy our Teen Ministry program. We’re going to have a lot of fun this summer, and we hope you can join us.

Meals:

Each meal starts with a staff member’s blessing in the food. When you enter the doors to the dining hall, located in the Raws Building, you will be greeted by the buffet line. Guests are able to grab a plate and choose from the variety of options that are available during the course. Most times there are 1-2 main entrée options with 2-3 sides dishes. During breakfast, there is a cold bar that is fully stocked with assorted cereals, milk, yogurt, and freshly cut fruit. During lunches and dinners, we have a freshly prepared salad bar where guests can create their salad exactly to their choosing. Once guests find their seat at a table,  our friendly servers will bring you beverages and help clear away your plates. You will also see our dining room hostess who is available to you at any time should you need any assistance. If you have a dietary restrictions or allergies, please inform your server and they would be happy to help.
