Lindsey Feldpausch writes, speaks and enjoys sitting in the corner pocket of the sectional. She lives outside of Grand Rapids with her husband, who is an associate pastor, and four children, who are associate producers of all things unpredictable. She currently works in customer service at GEMS Girls’ Clubs ministry. She likes spending time in the garden or on the Musketawa trail, or inside the middle of scripture that’s saying something never said before. She believes God is always good, grace is the sweetest gift and our current sufferings aren’t worth comparing to the glory that is on the way.

Summer Youth Camp

The Springs is a youth camp. That is our focus. We exist to develop and deepen relationships with Jesus Christ. During our summer we run 7 different programs. All of our programs are age specific, counselor based programs with a focus on impacting lives for Jesus Christ. We do this by hiring college age students who love God and love to show our campers how to love God also.
