Water's Edge Ministries (formerly Green Lake Lutheran Ministries)

About Us

Water’s Edge Ministries (formerly Green Lake Lutheran Ministries) is a year-round Christian outdoor ministry serving children, youth, families, congregations, and retreat groups through life-changing experiences rooted in Christ and inspired by creation.

Our mission is to cultivate communities of faith, belonging, and service where every person is welcomed with radical hospitality and encouraged to discover God’s presence in everyday life.

Our ministry includes three Christian camp and retreat centers in Minnesota:

* Green Lake Bible Camp in Spicer
* Shores of St. Andrew in New London
* Camp House in Brimson

Together, these sites offer summer youth camps, family camps, retreats, events, and year-round hospitality for individuals, families, schools, nonprofits, and congregations.

Water’s Edge Ministries also leads Serve Boldly, a national service-learning ministry that equips youth and adults to grow in faith through meaningful service, relationship-building, and reflection in communities across the United States.

Whether you’re searching for a Christian summer camp in Minnesota, a peaceful retreat center, meaningful service opportunities, or a welcoming place to reconnect with God and others, Water’s Edge Ministries invites you to experience faith, community, and transformation at the water’s edge.
