Mission Statement

Encouragement Ministries, Inc. is a Christian ministry committed to support and encourage individuals and their families as they deal with a crisis. Originally formed as a hospital ministry focusing on patients and their families, we maintain our commitment to serve patients in a medical crisis. Through the years, we have had the opportunity to work in crisis situations outside a hospital environment. Our goal is to serve with compassion as a need arises and to encourage people as they discover and rely upon their deep spiritual resources in Christ for dealing with a crisis.

Mission Statement

Over the past 25 years, Deer Run has been on mission to provide excellent camps and retreats that inspire a transformation relationship with Jesus Christ and strengthen relationships with family and friends. As a ministry, our desire is to see that campers of all ages would come to know and love the Jesus who created them in His image. By coming alongside Deer Run this Big Payback, YOU are making Kingdom Impact for generations to come!

At Deer Run Camps & Retreats, we believe that the most important aspect of life is relationships. This applies in our spiritual life, family life, business life, etc. We exist to help people develop and maintain healthy relationships with Jesus Christ and each other. There is an ever-widening gap in family relationships in America today. As a result, there is a huge increase in at risk children. We are attacking this problem by providing summer camp programs that develop character, integrity, confidence and respect through well trained staff and meaningful programs that help children know that they are loved by God and created for a purpose!

Mission Statement

Aldersgate Renewal Ministries is a Christian organization incorporated in 1978 to offer opportunities for every follower of Jesus to experience transforming growth, through the love of the Father, by the power of the Holy Spirit. In the book of Acts, Jesus said they would have the power to fulfill the Great Commission when the Holy Spirit came upon them. He said, ‘You will be my witnesses’ locally, nationally, and globally. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, the Church in Acts 2, demonstrated the Gospel to the world in word and in deed. The Church walked in power, unity, generosity, sacrificial care, relational nurture, and in joy. God empowered their witness day by day, adding to their number, those who were being saved.That is our vision: To see every church reach their fullest Acts 2 potential where God has uniquely placed them. How does that happen? By the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. That is why our mission is to equip the local church to minister in the power of the Holy Spirit. Within United Methodism, there are more than 30,000 local churches just within the United States. Imagine the transformational impact on the world if every local church in every place were carrying on the ministry of Jesus as modeled in the Scriptures. We believe that is possible.
