We are having a women’s retreat at St. Christopher’s Island, on the coast of South Carolina. This will be a time of some worship and fellowship, but primarily a time to “get away” and spend time alone with the Lord.
The men will be meeting at the McCravy’s pond for a day of fishing and fellowship. Please bring some cash to pitch in towards getting pizza for dinner!
Calvary Chapel Lexington is hosting the 19th annual “DEEP SOUTH MEN’S CONFERENCE.” The conference theme this year will be “The Hall of Faith-Lessons on Faith from Hebrews 11.” During each session we will be taught verse by verse through Hebrews 11. Each speaker will take us through a portion of this wonderful chapter on faith. As we are taught through this chapter we will learn some great lessons for life on being men of faith from some of the great examples of faith in Hebrews 11.
If you are a camper, please feel free to bring your RV, pop-up, or tent and camp out on the church property. If you are not a camper, there are several hotels nearby. The conference will start on Friday with registration at 4:00 pm with a free cookout during the registration. Our first session will begin at 7:00 pm on Friday and our last session will be over by 3:30 pm Saturday afternoon.
This is our annual church camping trip! It will be an informal time of fellowship and enjoying the outdoors, with a few planned group activities during the weekend.

After graduating from Cal State Long Beach, he attended Calvary Chapel Bible College in Twin Peaks, CA. Tim and his wife, Denise were married the year after they were at CCBC, and the Lord opened a door for them to stay at Twin Peaks for many years of fruitful ministry. Tim had the privilege of teaching at the Bible College and pastoring at CC Lake Arrowhead.
Tim and Denise have four amazing adult children, two wonderful daughters-in-law, and four lively grandchildren.
Tim currently lives in Old Bridge, NJ, where he serves under Pastor Lloyd Pulley as an assistant pastor and director of Calvary Christian School.
