The Vision of Story Book Lodge

Story Book Lodge exists to promote the Lord Jesus Christ & the Word of God. We have a desire for those who believe in Him to grow strong in their faith through His Word.

We likewise have a desire for those who don’t know Him as Savior to come to believe in Him as they hear God’s Word.
