Local Missions

Crystal Springs Baptist Camp is a camp ministry that is built on solid, Biblical teaching, deep friendships, and experiencing new and fun activities, we’ve got you covered! We have a lot of fun here, but sharing the Gospel is our greatest joy and most important mission. We would love to have you visit so we could get to know you and share God’s goodness with you too! We are located on a beautiful spring-fed lake in the heart of North Dakota, just 40 miles from Jamestown, so stop on by!

Crystal Springs Camp operates as an extension of the ministry of the North American Baptist Conference (NAB). Since being founded in 1954, we have strived to be a unique and powerful tool that can minister to young people within our region. The heart of our theology and practice is guided by the beliefs of the NAB, and we welcome people of all denominations and backgrounds to attend our camp programs and hear the good news of Jesus Christ.

Beyond our own NAB camp programming, we offer the facilities to other groups and organizations to be utilized for ministry, recreation and/or conference events. However, any organization that desires to make use of our facilities for ministry purposes must be deemed by the Executive Director to be in essential agreement with the core beliefs of the NAB as outlined in the North American Baptist Conference Statement of Faith.

All Temple Baptist Church Students get half of their registration cost covered by the church. Check out the camps offered and register HERE.

CEF of Southeast North Dakota is a local chapter of Child Evangelism Fellowship that guides kids to Jesus through our Good News Clubs, Christmas Party Clubs, and summer 5-Day Clubs in Jamestown and the surrounding towns of southeast North Dakota.  We also have an overnight camp every year called Camp Good News.
Our Purpose

• Children are in need of and capable of receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior.
• By God’s grace, we receive Jesus Christ through faith alone

The Lord used Cru to radically change both of our hearts and lives while we were in college. We were both living the typical college lifestyle with God on the back burner. Kimmie was a sophomore at the time and living in her sorority when God captured her heart. Kody was a senior when he surrendered his life to Christ at Cru winter conference. The whole trajectory of our lives was changed and because of that, we have a deep passion for others to know God. After graduation, Kimmie started working part-time with Cru and Kody became a teacher and basketball coach. A couple of years later, we met and quickly realized we shared a similar missional heart and love for God and adventure. We were married 8 months later and now have grown to a family of five with our daughters Kalli and Kenzi and son Korbin.

Shortly after marriage, we started doing campus ministry together in the evenings. We knew and saw the tremendous competition for the hearts and minds of students and it didn't take us long to know that this is where God was calling us to be. After having our sweet Kalli, we decided to take the step of faith and join full-time staff with Cru. We are so excited to be on the Northern Plains team and be serving on the campuses in Bismarck and the surrounding area. What a privilege it is to get to share the hope of the gospel message and help build students up in their faith during this pivotal time in their lives.

God is literally bringing the world to our doorstep! Last year 1.3 million International Students came to the United States in pursuit of the "American Dream"...many of whom come from families of top economic, academic, and social standing in their countries. What an incredibly strategic opportunity the Lord has given us to share the Hope of the Gospel with future persons of influence all over the world! It is a fact that every International graduate will go somewhere carrying a message. We must ask ourselves: "Where will they go?" and "What message will they take with them?".

Ryan and Laura have over 40 years of combined ministry experience with students and are currently serving at Iowa State University. The purpose of their ministry is to give the 3000 International Students at ISU the opportunity to RESPOND to the Gospel of Jesus Christ...To EQUIP Christians in their Faith...and finally, to prepare these graduating students to return to their home countries to SHARE the Gospel with their people!

"Unleashing each student's full potential in Jesus Christ"

Victory Christian School is an interdenominational evangelical school commissioned to provide high quality Christian education which ministers to the whole child – body, mind, and spirit.  This educational experience encourages excellence and prepares students for life and service to God.  A Christ-centered curriculum, rooted in Scripture, is designed to reinforce the values and morals taught in the Christian home and church.  Certified Christian teachers demonstrate God’s love through their commitment to students while touching hearts, both for this life and for eternity.

The purpose of VCS is to unleash each student’s full potential in Jesus Christ. The Scriptures indicate that education is the ministry given to parents for the purpose of disciplining their children in the ways of the Lord.  (Deuteronomy 6:4-9)

Our ministry as a school is to help parents bring up their children “in the training and instruction of the Lord.” (Ephesians 6:4)

We do this by “admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.” (Colossians 1:28)

We are not just concerned with a child’s intellectual training; but primarily with his/her character development.  We train our students to choose Christ-like attitudes while striving to present a Christ-centered curriculum of the highest academic quality.

YFC is a movement that reaches young people everywhere with the hope of Christ. We work with the local church and other like-minded partners to raise up lifelong followers of Jesus who lead by their godliness in lifestyle, devotion to the Word of God and prayer, passion for sharing the love of Christ, and commitment to social involvement.
3Story® is the phrase we use to describe how we live in relationship with God and others. We use three circles to represent these stories—GOD'S STORY, MY OWN STORY and the STORIES OF YOUNG PEOPLE. Overlapping circles represent growing relationship, trust and that transformation is happening. 3Story® helps people who love Jesus stay tightly connected to Him as we reach out to others. It’s a lifestyle we pursue. We want to be the kind of people who love others, the way Jesus loves us, who serve as Jesus serves, and who are consistently drawing near to God for the sake of young people. We pursue 11-19 year olds who are walking through pivotal, story shaping moments; like navigating a new school, becoming a teen parent, spending time in a juvenile institution or simply enduring the culture of social media. Young people often feel marginalized. As we live 3Story® lives, we represent Jesus who is steady and trustworthy so that young people feel seen, heard and valued.
