The Family Camp committee is excited to announce our 2026 Camp Pastor:

Heather Castle

Heather Castle is a Free Methodist elder and a certified Spiritual Director.  A Spring Arbor University alumna (’05), she has most recently served in local church ministry as both Youth Pastor and Connections Pastor at The Arbor Church in Spring Arbor, Michigan.

Heather is deeply in love with Jesus and passionate about spiritual formation, creating spaces where people can encounter God, grow in self-awareness, and live with greater freedom and wholeness. She enjoys nature walks with her family, good conversations with a cup of coffee in hand, and paying attention to the ways God is at work in everyday life.

Married for 20 years to her college crush, Steve, Heather lives in Jackson, Michigan, where they are raising their sweet and sassy daughter, Amiya (6), and caring for children in foster care. As a family, they seek to embody God’s love through hospitality, presence, and care.
