The Eagle’s Eye is back! 🦅

This summer, God moved through Teen Camp and Kids Camp at Eagle Ridge. Our “Living Water” theme from John 4 came to life in a special way when I had the privilege of baptizing Braxton Sullivan, whom I’ve watched grow from a Kids Camp camper into a Teen Camp counselor. Read his story and more in our Fall 2026 edition below.

Next year, Eagle Ridge celebrates 50 years of ministry. As we prepare to welcome the people God will send in 2027, we’re launching our first year-end campaign with a goal of $10,000 by December 31!

Would you consider a one-time gift or becoming a monthly ministry partner? Every amount matters, and we are grateful for your prayers and support!
