Joel has a gift for asking thoughtful questions—the kind that help people look deeper, dream bigger, and consider what God might be doing next. He’s also a longtime storyteller, always ready to share a memory from his years serving at camp in the late 80s and early 90s.

​

As Interim Executive Director, Joel is helping guide Lake Beauty through a season of transition while keeping our mission at the center: helping people encounter Jesus. He loves seeing generations return to camp and watching God continue to work in familiar places.

Grant notices the little things—like identifying almost any bird on camp property and keeping a list of his five favorite trees at Lake Beauty. His attention to detail is part of what makes him such a thoughtful leader.

​

As Camp Director, Grant loves solving problems, caring for the details behind the scenes, and making sure Lake Beauty is ready to welcome every camper, guest, and staff member. When he’s away from camp, he enjoys exploring the outdoors with his wife, Teirrah, and their two young kids.

Jodi brings energy, creativity, and a gift for keeping summer camp moving. She thrives in the fast pace of camp and loves creating experiences where campers and staff can laugh, connect, and grow.

​

Jodi is known for “committing to the bit”—fully embracing a theme, joining in the fun, or doing whatever it takes to create a memorable moment (including the occasional inflatable animal costume). She loves helping every detail of summer camp come together.

Lexi loves helping people feel at home at Lake Beauty. Whether she’s helping a group plan their retreat, answering questions, or making sure details are taken care of, she brings warmth, creativity, and genuine hospitality.

 

Lexi believes welcome often happens in the little things—a thoughtful conversation, a great cup of coffee, or something homemade to share. She loves creating in the kitchen, from sourdough bread and lattes to boba tea and whatever new idea she decides to try. If it were up to her, her cats would probably have jobs at camp, too.

Ben keeps the numbers adding up, the paperwork moving, and the people cared for—all with a calm, steady presence. When he’s not at his desk, you might find him refereeing high school soccer or biking the 10 miles to camp… just because he can.

​

Whether he’s answering HR questions, balancing budgets, or helping staff navigate the day-to-day, Ben enjoys making life a little easier for everyone around him. His work may not always be center stage, but it helps make ministry happen every single day.

Terri’s favorite questions are, “Are you hungry?” and “Do you want more food?” She loves seeing people come back for seconds because, for Terri, meals are about more than food—they’re about creating a place where people feel welcomed and cared for.

​

Terri brings that same hospitality and hard-working spirit to everything she does. Outside of camp, she enjoys flipping houses with her sons and spending time walking along the beaches of Florida.

Teirrah loves finding creative ways to connect with people—whether that means encouraging someone in their faith, sharing a story through marketing, capturing a moment in a photo, or inviting someone to join a dance on social media.

​

As Discipleship Director and marketing lead, Teirrah helps staff, campers, and guests feel known and connected while sharing the stories of what God is doing at Lake Beauty. At home, she and her kids are known for turning ordinary moments into kitchen dance parties.

If you’ve called Lake Beauty, there’s a good chance you’ve talked with Julie. She helps guests register, answers questions, and makes sure people feel welcomed long before they arrive.

​

Julie enjoys quilting, scrapbooking, and flower gardening—anything that lets her create something beautiful and meaningful. She brings that same care and attention to detail to her work at camp, helping each guest feel known and valued.

Emily brings a love for adventure, a heart for serving others, and plenty of stories from the places she’s explored. From living in Alaska to visiting countries around the world, she has a curiosity that keeps her learning and discovering new things.

​

At Lake Beauty, Emily helps create comfortable, welcoming spaces through her work in housekeeping and food service. When she’s not serving guests, you might find her working on a puzzle, planning her next adventure, or sharing stories from her travels.

Nathan is the person you want nearby when something needs fixing. He has a gift for solving problems and finding a way to make things work.

​

As part of the properties team, Nathan helps keep Lake Beauty running smoothly and uses his skills to serve others every day. Outside of camp, he enjoys camping, spending time outdoors, and making memories with his wife and two daughters.

Jenna loves creating things that bring joy—whether that’s cupcakes, crafts, or helping campers find the perfect camp keepsake. She’s always dreaming up her next creative project.

 

As Retail Manager, Jenna helps make the camp store a welcoming part of the Lake Beauty experience. She and her husband are raising three boys in Oklahoma, and she brings the same creativity, care, and attention to detail to camp that she brings to life at home.
