Brutal Fact #1Only 7% of our confirmands are still in the

Lutheran Church at age 25 and 60% of our high school kids have left the Lutheran Church by the time they graduate from high school.

If we are in decline & struggling, what should we do to grow?

We can do camp as we always have, or we can have more campers. But we may not be able to have both. Remember the Oldsmobile? Myth of the “Best-kept Secret”

Things to think about…

LP Cassette CD iPOD

Brutal Fact #2

A “homespun” camp & inward-looking subculture are turn-offs to outsiders.

What is our subculture? Is it inviting to “outsiders”? Ask the question… “Would [Four Star Resort] do

this?”

Things to know…

Brutal Fact #2

Gospel is:RelevantAttractiveTimeless

Is Camp relevant to the new demographic that’s rising?

Preserve the Core, Stimulate Progress.

Our CORE is the GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST!

This is the music – the truth – that people want and need, and it still “sells” –

Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop – come thirty, some sixty, and some a hundred times what was sown.

Mark 4:20

Keys in Assessing Appeal & Potential for Growth:

1. If it’s not working now, it won’t work in the future.

2. Determine what is core. All else is on the table.

3. When the Inner Circle, member churches, are on board, we’re ready for Outer Circle constituencies (Glass is half-full – we have a great head start!)

Things to discuss…

Caryn Elliott Mike Suelzle Jerry Werner

Reflection & Discussion

1. If we are struggling and in decline, what can we do to grow?

2. In ten years, if you were in a hot air balloon over Camp Perkins, what do you see?

3. Identify 2-3 barriers in your church that inhibit your doing your very best job as a delegate.

4. What one thing will you do next week to promote camp? (small or large)
