Executive Director
Kevin.Beebe@camplutherwood.org

Originally from Pullman, WA, Pastor Kevin joins Lutherwood after spending 4 years as pastor of Spirit Alive! Church in Kenosha, WI. Prior to Wisconsin, Kevin spent time in various ministries in Missouri, California, Colorado, Montana, Idaho, and the West Bank.

Kevin comes to Lutherwood excited for the ways this camp can be a linchpin in the development of faith for all people, removing us from the busyness of our lives to the mystery of God found so readily within the song of creation. Kevin sees Lutherwood’s potential in being a link between ministries around Washington, welcoming all and celebrating what Christ is up to in their lives and the life of the wider church.

Kevin is your contact for development, financial stewardship, and overall vision and direction of Lutherwood.
