Work Hard, Play Hard!
We work hard on projects, but we play hard too. During the day, our staff will lead you in a project - some big, some small, that will make a big difference in getting Trout ready to teach kids about the life changing message of Jesus Christ. Our evenings are filled with fun and fellowship.
Host - Mark & Mandy Johnson
Mandy works for Converge North Central at Director of Placement, and Mark is in his second career after teaching Physical Education for 32 years, he now spends his time with his son in the house painting business. Both of our kids have had multiple positions at camp, and it has allowed them to be good leaders today. As we approach retirement, we are already finding that we love to volunteer at Trout. We have seen God work in camps in mighty ways, and it is good to help prepare the facility to allow that work to happen!

Mark's family has been going to Trout over the years since it opened in 1947. They love working at Trout and spending time with the Serve Teams seeing new and existing friends. Volunteering is one way we can live out Acts 1:8 with our support of Trout's important ministry. When we're not at camp, we enjoy our time at Westwood Church in Chanhassen, family, car collecting, and other hobbies.
There's no more important man in a boy's life than his dad, and no more important gift than time well spent together.

Students are expected to attend the Dteam training weekend at Trout June 19–21. Throughout the summer, in-depth ministry training takes place through personal reflection and study, participation in the MinistrySafe Program, small group interaction, and group building experiences.
*There is now only one Dteam training weekend.
Since the turn of the 21st century, unprecedented gospel movements have been happening around the world yet in the US statistics show we are still losing the battle to see the church keep pace with population growth.
We have many existing models to help us be more effective in spreading the gospel. We have yet to see new forms which lead to enhanced disciple making movements.
What if we could adapt new strategies in disciple-making within our current structures?
Roy Moran, pastor, author, catalyst and disciple-maker, in his book, Spent Matches, uses a hybrid car as a metaphor, where he meshes the attractional model of ministry with a multiplicative disciple-making model. More than just theory, Moran practices what he preaches as Teaching Pastor at Shoal Creek Community Church. Check out Roy's Free Kindle edition called Hybrid Church.
Join the conversation!
Pastors, staff, church planters, and lay minister leaders are welcome to attend.
