What is a Christian Ashram? The Christian Ashram is one of several movements that has arisen out of a desire to put the power of the early church back into our modern day fellowship. Literally translated the word "Ashram" means "Retreat from hard work" - a time to engage in Christ-centered activities and meditation. All Christian Ashrams are interdenominational and interracial. Titles and other symbols of distinction are set aside that we may worship as true brothers and sisters in Christ under the ministry of an evangelist, Bible study leader, and music team.
What can you expect?
a time of sharing and growth within a Christian Community

Where is it being held? Beulah Camp is a wonderful church run camp facility on the beautiful Long Reach of the St. John river about one half hour from the city of Saint John. There is plenty of on-site accommodation available and we will also welcome day visitors.
What about youth and children? They are very welcome! We offer full children's and youth programs and a nursery for the very young during main sessions.


Evangelist:
The Rev. Dr. Terry Branscombe

Terry is a graduate of Atlantic Baptist College (B. A. in Biblical Literature), Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (M.Div. with a double major in Old Testament studies and Church Planting) and Trinity Western University's ACTS Seminary (Doctor of Ministry in leadership and spiritual formation). As an ordained pastor, he has served in the Atlantic Baptist Convention, as well as in the Evangelical Free Church of America, the Southern Baptist Convention and as a "friend" of the Association of Vineyard Churches (US), in churches in New Brunswick and Illinois. He presently serves as the pastor of Holy Trinity Congregational Christian Church, Miramichi, NB. Terry's lifelong passion has been to see Jesus' life formed in people and to see churches become healthy vibrant Spirit-empowered communities, with passionate servant leaders setting the pace. Terry married his best friend, Joanne, over 30 years ago and now they have two grown children: Ben and his wife Kim, and Deanna and her husband, Jeff; and two beautiful grandchildren, Eva and Isaiah.
