Ready to ditch the shallow life?
This year’s theme is “Out of the Shallows,” and we’re diving into what it means to live deeply in a world that keeps trying to pull us into the shallows.
Beth Banham will be speaking and helping us look honestly at the things that drain us: anxiety, difficult people, screens, AI, and the ways we distract or numb ourselves.
It’s easy to drift into shallow living without even realizing it—but Jesus invites us into so much more: real connection, meaningful work, and a faith that actually satisfies.
It’ll be a long weekend full of laughter, rest, fun, and fresh hope—for the whole family.
Let’s go deeper—together.
Beth and Dan Banham
Our Speaker: Beth Banham
Beth Banham has a heart for Jesus, the church, and helping people experience the amazing rescue God offers in the middle of life’s messiness. Born in Jima, Ethiopia, to missionary parents, she grew up surrounded by stories of adventure and faith. Beth learned early that following Jesus means stepping into a rescue story that’s both wild and wonderful.For almost 30 years Beth and her husband, Dan, have been serving City’s Edge Friends Church, a community they planted with unrealistic ideals, limited gifting, lots of hope, and plenty of guts. By God’s grace, it’s growing into a place where people find healing, connection, and a genuine sense of belonging. Their son Grant and his wife Rebecca continue the family’s commitment to serve with authenticity, hospitality, and more than a little sarcastic charm.
Beth is passionate about creating spaces where people can connect with God and one another in meaningful ways. At this year’s Family Camp, she’ll invite everyone to step out of the shallows of stress and distractions and dive into the deep, refreshing love and hope that only God can provide.
