Established in 1920 as Gull Lake Bible Conference Association, God has clearly shown His faithfulness and generosity in providing us a rich heritage of life-transforming ministry. Over the 87-year history, many powerful teachers have graced the tabernacle stage and many professions of faith have followed. Missionaries from around the world have testified to God’s work, and our guests have always responded with prayer and support. Today, our purpose remains the same as that of our founding fathers: “to impact lives for God’s glory,” while we continue to develop meaningful ways to strengthen the family and equip the saints for God’s service.
