WINDWARD
Bible Study Conference
REGISTRATION COMING SOON!
September 11-18, 2027
Take a breath, set your sails, and embark on an immersive week in God’s Word!
Windward is a Bible Study Conference set in a retreat environment, designed for adults of all ages, that invites you to engage Scripture in ways that bring fresh life and perspective to your faith journey. Guided by a Bible scholar, each day features in-depth teaching balanced with rhythms of worship, rest, and meaningful community. Cedar Bay is located on over 500 acres of beautiful natural surroundings on the north shore of Lake Huron, providing a peaceful setting to reflect and grow.
More than a retreat, Windward is a discipleship opportunity for those who desire to engage both their heart and mind in a deeper knowledge and understanding of God’s Word.

"It’s a great event for life transitions, whether finishing school, starting ministry, or just switching gears. For the level of education we’re getting, like learning from Biblical scholars, combined with a bit of camp experience, it’s worth the cost; a high-value experience!”
-Christina
“The combination of teaching that stimulates the mind, worship that touches the heart, and fellowship that nourishes the soul has been life-changing, like a three-legged stool supporting your whole being."
-Gerald & Kathy
“As a pastor, you look for opportunities to be refreshed, to be renewed, to get out of the ‘same old, same old’. Windward has provided exactly that, a place to grow, both spiritually and intellectually. It’s a great opportunity to come before the Lord and let Him examine you as you examine His Word.”
-Clifford
Keynote Speaker - Dr. Steve Bryan
For the past decade, Dr. Steve Bryan (PhD, Cambridge University) has served as Professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He has had more than 23 years of experience in theological education and mission leadership in Addis Ababa, where he served as Director of SIM Ethiopia and as Dean of Studies at the Ethiopian Graduate School of Theology. Bryan is the author of several books and numerous articles. As associate members of SIM, he and his wife, Dawn, continue to remain active in international ministry today.
Dr. Bryan's aim in teaching is for people to come away with a clear understanding of how Scriptural texts work and of how they shape us to live within the story that Scripture tells. His current area of research and writing is the Gospel of John, and helping others understand the significant difference of this Gospel from all the others, and why it proved so important in forming Christians over many centuries in the way of Christ.

Directions to Camp and Transportation
Cedar Bay is located on the Eastern side of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, 30 miles east of the Mackinac Bridge in the Les Cheneaux Islands area.
Due to the uniqueness of having two different sides of camp, we have two different driveways. Each is marked with a well-lit sign. Old Mill Point is located at 1128 S Cedar Campus Rd, Cedarville, MI 49719. The entrance to Mariners Cove is located one mile east along M-134. Windward will be held on the Old Mill Point side.
If you want to fly rather than drive, Chippewa County International Airport is just 40 minutes away. Let us know with your registration, and we’ll be happy to shuttle you to and from camp!
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call us! 906.484.2294
