We Believe

God is love, power, and splendor—and God is a mystery. His ways are far beyond us, but He still reaches out to us. God is infinite yet intimate, three yet one,

Are you ready to experience a powerful, life-changing spiritual awakening? Join us June 12–15 at the Allegheny West Conference Camp Meeting as we delve into our theme, “The Time Is Now,” focusing on the long-awaited, much-anticipated second coming of Christ. This extraordinary event will feature the dynamic preaching of Emil Peeler, Ricardo Graham, Vivian Martin and Furman “Pace” Fordham. Prepare to be inspired, challenged and transformed as the power of God’s Spirit will be unleashed upon His people.

We are no longer in the time of the end; we have arrived at the end of time. A time when men call “good evil and evil good” is not the time for us to get ready—we must be ready.
