SUMMARY:Family Week #4
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nJoin us for our 2026 Summer Conference Season!\n  \nOur theme is “Dwell: Restored by the Shepherd” focusing on Psalm 23\, “… He restores my soul… My cup overflows…” \nDWELL: Restored by the Shepherd is an invitation to slow down and step into the quiet\, healing presence of our Lord. It’s not just about being led\, it’s about being known\, cared for\, and restored by the One who calls us His own. Like sheep in the Shepherd’s care\, we find rest not only for our bodies but for our souls. Even in the valleys\, we are never alone. His presence brings peace\, His voice brings comfort\, and His house is where we belong. The Shepherd calls us to stay close… to dwell with Him daily. The world may rush\, but the Shepherd restores. Come DWELL with us at America’s Keswick. Discover the rest your soul has been longing for\, where God speaks to hearts and transforms lives!\n\n  \n  \nSpeakers: Tucker Rodkey & Dr. Dave Edwards\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI agreed to go with my art teacher to Philly where we spent the afternoon painting large scale oil paintings that were modern retellings of biblical parables. The conversations flowed so naturally. That’s when the lightning bolt hit. WHAT IF WE USED ART TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL? When I was 18 I dropped out of college and began living out of my car\, traveling the East Coast of the US\, sharing the Gospel through speed painting on boardwalks\, street corners and churches. Two years later I launched Painting Freedom Ministries\, a Christian Arts non profit dedicated to spreading the Gospel through the art. Since launching Painting Freedom I have had the opportunity to travel all across the United States\, speaking at churches\, conferences\, schools\, outreaches\, festivals and even living room gatherings. \n  \n \nDavid describes himself as an “itinerant postmodern pastor.” For more than 20 years\, he has been sharing his unique brand of ministry to conferences\, churches\, colleges\, camps & concerts. He speaks more than 200 times each year to over 100\,000 people and has started 12 young adult weekly Bible Study groups. He has written 27 books published by 6 different publishers. \nAsa a speaker his unique style & energy make him an audience favorites. As an author he imparts practical wisdom and inspiration. Asa a consultant he accelerates the effectiveness of his clients. \nDavid is a graduate of Oklahoma City University. He was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Theology from Louisiana Christian University. He is Pastor of Discipleship at Church Project in The Woodlands\, TX; where he & his wife\, Caroline\, live. \n  \n  \n\nWorship: Brian & Elisabeth Borodin \nBrian and Elisabeth Borodin serve as worship leaders at Open Door Church in Howell\, New Jersey\, where Brian also serves as the Music & Youth Pastor. Together\, they are gifted musicians with a genuine heart for leading others into meaningful worship of our great and mighty God. Their blended worship style is both uplifting and engaging\, creating an environment where individuals and families alike can encounter the Lord. We’re confident you will be encouraged and blessed through their ministry. \n  \n  \n  \nWhat to expect this summer at America’s Keswick:\n\nMorning and evening sessions with our speakers\nWe will be having Children’s and Teen’s Ministry\nActivities for all ages! Such as guided nature walks\, scavenger hunts\, a large inflatable slide in the lake\, devotions\, and more!\nDelicious meals prepared on campus served in our dining room\n\n  \nChildren’s & Teen’s Ministry:\nIt’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. \nOn 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. \nOur 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. \n  \nMeals:\nEach meal starts with a staff member’s blessing in the food.

SUMMARY:Young at Heart
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nJoin us for our 2026 Summer Conference Season!\n  \nOur theme is “Dwell: Restored by the Shepherd” focusing on Psalm 23\, “… He restores my soul… My cup overflows…” \nDWELL: Restored by the Shepherd is an invitation to slow down and step into the quiet\, healing presence of our Lord. It’s not just about being led\, it’s about being known\, cared for\, and restored by the One who calls us His own. Like sheep in the Shepherd’s care\, we find rest not only for our bodies but for our souls. Even in the valleys\, we are never alone. His presence brings peace\, His voice brings comfort\, and His house is where we belong. The Shepherd calls us to stay close… to dwell with Him daily. The world may rush\, but the Shepherd restores. Come DWELL with us at America’s Keswick. Discover the rest your soul has been longing for\, where God speaks to hearts and transforms lives!\n\n  \n \nSpeaker: Dr. H. Wallace Webster\nPastor Wally Webster began his ministry at Mount Airy Bible Church in July of 1986. He is a graduate of Washington Bible College (BA\, 1976)\, Pensacola Christian College (MA\, 1980)\, Capital Bible Seminary (M.Div.\, 1986)\, and Trinity Theological Seminary (D.Min.\, 1993). He has been an educator\, coach\, and Christian leader on high school and college levels. His wife\, Vicky\, is a graduate of Messiah College (BS\, 1983) and taught school for many years before becoming a mom. She is currently the Elementary Principal of Mount Airy Christian Academy. The Websters have four children. \n  \n  \nMusic & Worship by: \nJeff & Sue Duffield\nAside from the fact that they have new life doing contemporary hymns and even the “Oldies”\, they have always been exceptional and creative artists. Since the early 70s\, while Jeff and Sue had major media venues of opportunity and exposure (PTL Club\, 700 Club\, 100 Hundred Huntley Street – Canada) they never strived for commercial success. Sue not only has an incredible vocal ability\, she also writes much of the material they perform.Jeff is a sought-after keyboardist\, playing\, producing\, and arranging for artists/ministries such as: Jimmy Fortune (of the Statler Brothers)\, Doug Oldham\, the Original Couriers\, Ben “Cooter” Jones of the Dukes of Hazzard\, Sammy Hall\, Dave Boyer\, Canton Junction\, and John Hagee Ministries. The choice to perform a more jazz\, soulful-influenced repertoire instead of mainstream gospel\, a more conservative direction\, proved to be their signature strength. The Duffields were performing this worship flavor a decade or more before it became popular.Their music is rich with many layers. They are truly musicians’ musicians\, but most will say Jeff and Sue’s hearts are even bigger than their music. In their later years\, it’s become quite evident that their real joy is helping other artists and ministries. Their love for Jesus shines in everything they do. \n  \n  \nPricing:\nAll Rates are Per Person and include accommodations\, amenities\, *meals\, and all programs.\nEach individual guest is booked separately with a non-refundable\, non-transferable deposit of: adults: $75 each\, children: $25 each.
