Rev. B.J. Fouts (B.A., M.Div.), Executive Director at Camp Concordia in Gowen, MI served on summer staff at Camp CILCA 1999-2004. He and his wife, Jessica (nee Blessman), who  also served 2000-2004, were married at Camp CILCA in the spring of 2004 and have four beautiful children. After serving at camp, Pastor B.J. went on to seminary and then to serve congregations in Nebraska for 16 years, before God called him to camp ministry in Michigan in 2024. Pastor B.J. has served in a variety of roles within the church in Nebraska: LLL zone advisor and rally speaker, recruiting coordinator for the church planting task force, district constitution committee, and district secretary. In his new position he is leading a Lutheran summer camp for kids in Western Michigan, Camp Concordia, through strategic planning, capital improvements, and visioning the next phase of ministry for a well-established Lutheran camp. B.J. and Jessica have four children, Lizzy (14), Abigail (16), Nathanael (17), and Hannah (19) who also has outdoor ministry in her blood having spent the last two summers on staff at Camp Luther, Nebraska. Pastor B.J.'s personal mission is to make angels dance, considering the stories of Luke 15, and the words of Luke 15:10, "Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
