Carey Charles
Camp Director
<p>Carey grew up as a Pastor’s kid and knew the gospel very well, but it wasn’t until he was twelve that he accepted the Lord as his personal Savior. He then began to help his father as much as possible at his home church. When Carey turned fifteen, God called him to preach and he started to preach in his home church as well as other local churches. Carey joined our team in the fall of 2019 working on our Marketing and Promotions group. He is excited for what God is doing the hearts and lives of all the people involved with The Edge Christian Camp. “I am here to glorify God and to see souls saved and draw closer to Jesus Christ.”</p>
Stephen Roofner
Program Director
<p>Stephen Roofner grew up in Fredericksburg, Virginia, where he trusted in Christ as His Savior at the age of five. From then on, he served in many volunteer areas such as camp, kid’s classes, and nursing home ministry. At the age of eighteen, Stephen surrendered to God’s call to the ministry and attended Pensacola Christian College, where he graduated with a bachelor’s in pastoral ministries. During college, he served in a nursing home ministry, and spent two summers working at the Edge Christian Camp as a counselor before coming on as full-time staff. “I seek to glorify God in everything I do, and desire to help others direct and focus their lives on living for Christ.”</p>
Kyle Byrd
Program Assistant
<p>Kyle thought he was saved at the age of 4 but, for many years he doubted his salvation. It wasn't until the summer of 2011 that he went with his youth group to a Christian Camp. It was there that the Lord showed him his need for salvation. He surrendered to full-time ministry in the summer of 2013 and felt God calling him into camp ministry in a college chapel service the fall of 2017. Eventually God led him here to the Edge Christian Camp the fall of 2021.</p>
Nathan Carsley
Media
<p>When Nathan was seven, he heard a message he had never heard before or hadn’t ever paid attention to which was the gospel of Christ. He didn’t go down to the alter that Wednesday night but what he did was talk with his parents when he had gotten home. That’s where they showed him how to receive Jesus and how to live for him. Fast forward to 2018, he heard a message at camp about surrendering to what God would want you to do. And So he surrendered everything he had and his life for God's glory.</p>
Chris Rosenbalm
Head Kitchen Chef
<p>I accepted Christ as my Savior when I was at the age of five.  I came to the realization that I needed a Savior, and no one could make that decision for me. I needed to accept Christ of my own volition and make Him my own, and myself His. After years of growing up and serving in the church, I would eventually move to Tennessee to study pastoral ministries at The Crown College of the Bible. It was there that I became burdened with reaching children and sharing the gospel with them, and so upon graduating college, I became a part of the team at the Edge Christian Camp under the direction of the Holy Spirit. I am very thankful for the working hand of the Lord, and the opportunity to be involved in His ministry.</p>
