Success Stories

Covenant Pines Ministries in McGregor, Minnesota, is dedicated to helping individuals and families take the next step in their faith journey. Through our ministry partnership, we provide financial resources that enable Covenant Pines to grow and thrive, ensuring their mission continues for generations to come.

Covenant Pines Ministries encompasses two properties and four distinct ministry centers:

• Covenant Pines Bible Camp has been drawing youth and families into a deeper relationship with Christ since 1954.
• Adventurous Christians provides a Christian environment where people encounter God in the wilderness.
• Silver Beach Family Area provides a space for families to experience the community of Christ together in the beauty of northern Minnesota.
• Covenant Pines Off Site strives to bring a fun and engaging experience to the Twin Cities and other areas.

Each of these centers serves as an entry point to one shared mission: encouraging campers to take the next step in their Christian faith. Covenant Pines is a vital connecting point for communities in the Twin Cities and beyond, creating spaces where faith is deepened and lives are transformed.

For over nine years, Executive Director Dave Cairns has led Covenant Pines Ministries with a heart for ministry and a deep personal connection to the camp. His vision and leadership continue to strengthen the impact of this ministry, and we at NCP are honored to be part of their journey.

Covenant Pines operates throughout the year, serving groups in every season. To sustain and expand their mission, financial support and strategic partnerships are essential. That’s where NCP steps in. Instead of seeking funding from a traditional bank, Covenant Pines has chosen to partner with us. Through a longstanding relationship with Rollie Persson, vice president of Real Estate Services at NCP, we’ve been able to provide lending solutions tailored to their needs. Rollie’s lifelong relationship with Covenant Pines adds a unique personal connection, giving our team a deep understanding of their ministry and vision.

With financial support from NCP, Covenant Pines was able to secure a loan for a new ministry center—an investment that ensures they are well-prepared for the future. As Dave Cairns shares, “NCP has been great; they are friendly lenders that support our ministry.”

At NCP we love to empower ministries like Covenant Pines, providing access to resources that align with their faith and calling. We are grateful to partner with organizations that share our commitment to advancing the kingdom of God. A partnership rooted in faith by working together, Covenant Pines and NCP continue to build a foundation for future generations to encounter Christ. We look forward to seeing how God will use this ministry in the years to come and are thankful for the opportunity to support its mission.
