General Info

For over eighty years, The Firs has risen to the challenge of serving many groups, organizations, families and campers young and old. It all began with a vision: A meeting place with God, where hundreds were to be blessed. Not just "a bit of land," on Lake Whatcom in Bellingham, Washington, but a place where the people would hear His Word and be satisfied. Through its programs, and dedicated staff, The Firs has labored to proclaim Jesus as Savior and Lord and continues to fulfill its mission with a variety of retreat facilities to meet the needs of all guests.
