The Redwood Christian Ashram is a family camp that has been meeting at the beautiful Redwood Christian Park in the Santa Cruz mountains for over 60 years. Summer camp is always held the week of the 4th of July. Everyone is welcome at the Ashram regardless of age, race, gender, marital status, or creed. We all come together for a common goal, to experience Christ.
Evangelist
A born and bred Methodist, Gary and his family have participated in Christian Ashrams since their children were young. Gary has recently retired from many years of pastoral service but continues to serve in a variety of ways including working with United Christian Ashrams International.
In addition to his pastoral service, Gary enjoys his life with Sybella, his wife of 40+ years. They both enjoy music, especially singing, and also pursue divergent interests: she loves to garden, and he relishes woodworking.
Bible Teacher
Al Grimm is currently the Director of Information Systems at Bethany Home in Ripon, CA. He spent 35 years in Pennsylvania and Connecticut as a United Methodist minister. While serving as a pastor he also taught Bible and Computer Science at a private Christian school.
After retiring from church work in 2014, Al took the job at Bethany Home allowing his technology hobby to become his main focus of work. Al lives in Stockton with his wife and best friend Pat and is active in the worship ministry at Holy Cross United Methodist Church.
Local Director
Every year as a child I looked forward to coming to Redwood Christian Ashram: for the family that reunited there, for the beauty and fun at the campground, and for being with God in a way I didn't quite experience anywhere else. It is an annual tradition which continues with my own children. it blesses my heart to hear them anticipate in joyful expectation each year. They feel the connection to God, to nature, and to the dear people who come to this sweet place.
Hearts are opened and lives are refreshed and renewed each year as we gather at the feet of Jesus under the statuesque Redwood trees.
