He will speak at evening services at 7 p.m. Sunday through Saturday, July 18 to 24, and at the Sunday morning service at 10 a.m. July 25. His theme for the week is “And Now What?” It focuses on life after the pandemic. A native of Auburn and now residing in the Bangor area, he holds a bachelor's degree in pastoral ministry and a master's degree in religious education. He is president of the association, is director of the Advent Christian Ministry Training Institute and provides guidance to emerging leaders. Previously he was a pastor and youth pastor at various churches along the East Coast, including part time at Oxford Advent Christian Church in Oxford. He and his wife, Beth Ann, formerly of Greene, are the parents of a 3-year-old daughter, Mallory.

The Rev. Josh Alves will be Bible teacher for the week. His topic will be the life of Joseph recorded in the Book of Genesis. The study will be held Monday through Friday from 9:45 to 11:45 a.m. Alves is teaching pastor at Oak Hill Bible Church in Oxford, Massachusetts. He holds a certificate in visual communications, is an accomplished author/illustrator and is a graduate of the Leadership Development Institute. Originally from Rhode Island, he previously served the AC church in Bangor for 17 years. He and his wife, Amy, and their four children reside in Oxford, Massachusetts.

Leading worship is Jessalyn Kofstad, whose family have been association members and cottage owners for five generations. An alumna of the association's youth camps during her preteen and teen years, she has participated in worship services at camp meetings as a singer and instrumentalist. She is a graduate of Berkshire Institute of Christian Studies in Lenox, Massachusetts, and teaches at an alternative school in New Hampshire.
