For the last sixteen years Farnham UMC has been holding the Lakeside
Camp Meeting on the shores of Back Lake in Pittsburg, New Hampshire. Located
in the northern most corner of Coos county, this spirit filled event has
brought people from far and near to worship and praise the Lord in the
pristine northwoods. The last day of camp meeting there is a baptism in
the lake for all who want to participate. Click here to printout a

A BRIEF HISTORY The first year featured the music ministry of Leo Adkins, a woman from Alabama who played "the harp" (harmonica). Also on hand were Herb and Edi Hutchinson, who have appeared many times since, the Gencos, Ken Borchers, Dan Weaver and many others. Evangelists included Sherwood Treadwell, Dave Thompson, Charlie and Betty Davis, Bruce Lee and Steve Martin. The theme "Share The J. O. Y.." (Jesus, Others and You!) That first year the tent was set up over two borrowed flatbed truck trailers, with the front of the tent parallel to the shore. The next year someone had a wonderful idea to turn the tent sideways,
leaving both sides open to see the lake. Now we watch the ducks swim by,
watch the children along the shore and wave to the boaters as they go by.
Beginning in 1985 with "The Spirit Gives Life, " the themes have had to
do with "The Spirit" Over the years we have seen the Lord move in
many incredible ways. People coming to know Jesus, baptisms in the Lake,
many slain or (resting) in the Spirit, healings and deliverence! Oh what
joy! Some who used to come have moved onto glory, others have moved away.
Yet the joy continues.
