​
Purpose Statement: My goal is to glorify God through my actions, words and my desire to work with children and their families.

​
Purpose Statement: My desire is to serve the Lord with joy and to impact people's lives by demonstrating as much of a reflection of Christ's love as is humanly possible. I feel privileged to play a part in the leadership and management of Upon The Rock Christian Camp. It is a blessing that God has given my husband and I a mutual vision of helping people know God and His principles.
THE WEICHMAN FAMILY
JEFF WEICHMAN
​
Husband / Father / Owner & Operator of a
Home Inspection Business
​
Purpose Statement: My goal is to be conformed daily to the image of Jesus Christ. I desire to have eyes that see the abilities in people that are valuable but not recognized by our culture as valuable. Then be able to show individuals as well as those around us the values of these unrecognized abilities. My hope is that I can meet these goals without trying to glorify myself, or those around me but only the God of the Holy Scriptures.
DONNA WEICHMAN
​
Wife / Mother / Physical Therapist with a Master’s Degree in Biblical Counseling
​
Purpose Statement: To use the skills and knowledge I have been given through education, life experience and learning about God, to affect others (including future generations.) The end purpose of this goal is the worship of God.
THE BLANK FAMILY
JIM BLANK
​
Husband / Father / Awana Worker
Choir Member / Sunday School Teacher
​
Purpose Statement: As a born again Christian I enjoy the grace and love of a personal Savior. I also have the responsibility to live in such a way as to glorify God and show the lost, the love God has for them. Part of this relationship includes a life of ministry to Christ, fulfilled in service to others. The most powerful impact I can make on the lost is when I combine a Godly life with a loving witness.
EMMA BLANK
​
Wife / Mother / Sunday School Teacher
Choir Member / Awana Worker
​
Purpose Statement: As a born again believer, I believe my objective in life is to glorify God in all that I say and do. Although that is impossible in myself, with God's help I try to be the best wife, mother and Christian that I can. I believe that the best and most significant impact I have is on my family. Thus, God's purpose for my life is fulfilled in serving them.

FAITH
ANDERSEN
Faith can do it all. Fix a truck, corral fifty campers as our Activity Director, and paint a Van Gogh. When she's not helping out at the camp, she can be found running around La Veta trying to be faster than that guy in the neon shirt.
​​​
Favorite Running Shoe: Anything that looks like Barney threw up on it
ELI
ANDERSEN
Eli used to be a small camper, if you can imagine that. Now, he's messing up the curve of the average person's BMI in La Veta. Eli is the muscle of the operation, and also enjoys reading, studying Greek, fellowshipping with his friends, and buying more books than his bookshelf can hold
​​​​
Favorite Weight:
Biggest
ANDREA
WHITING
Andrea is the newest member of our Full-Time Team in La Veta! Hailing from the land of Culver's, Andrea brings so much joy and energy to the team. She enjoys theological discussions, good steak, and being outside. Don't hike with her - she's too strong.

Favorite Person: Brian
MARK

GRACE
BRUNNER
