Description

In the mid-1990's, studies and historical assessments commissioned by the Kentucky Baptist Convention concluded that the conference and camp ministry/business could not survive due to certain facts of operation - limited off-season market demand, deferred maintenance, and the like. These studies also revealed that current financial distress and high liability exposure of camping facilities were risks too great to incur. Camping would become a thing of the past due to declines in interest and the youth population, studies said.


In light of these studies, the Kentucky Baptist Convention formed Kentucky Baptist Assemblies, a separate entity that would take on both of their retreat facilities - Jonathan Creek and Cedarmore. The goal for KBA was to survive, maybe even to close Cedarmore and focus on the Jonathan Creek facilities.


But in the spirit of those who shared the vision for the two properties decades ago, closing was not an option. Instead, the new leadership of KBA decided to refocus, asking, "What do we do that produces measurable spiritual change and how do we afford to do it? In 2000, the answer to this question drove the ministry to be reminded of its purpose, and out of that came a name that more encapsulated their hopes and passions - Crossings.


Having been given the charge of saving Cedarmore, the greatest opportunity to infuse significant money into Cedarmore would be from building a camp at Jonathan Creek. Jonathan Creek, a smaller, newer camp, presented an easily marketable opportunity for immediate growth. During KBA's first five years, most efforts were directed to implement and launch "Crossings at the Creek."
