“We got it! We got it!”
Luther Wesley Smith exclaimed to James L. Kraft, upon learning that the Northern Baptists’ offer to buy the bankrupt Lawsonia Country Club was accepted (December 7, 1943) Baptist youth held the first conference at Green Lake in June of 1944. A dozen other conferences followed in the first season and the slogan “For a Closer Walk with God” was adopted. The conference center became a key meeting place for great Baptist leaders, including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who spoke at Green Lake in 1956, 1957 and in 1959. Green Lake continues to be a place where God moves and the Holy Spirit works. People connect with God and with others at Green Lake, the place and space of ReCreation for people to discover God’s better version of themselves and their world.
