Resort communities are often viewed as idyllic “slices of heaven,” whose residents get to live where others only vacation. But what are the real struggles and needs facing these communities that exist below the picture-perfect surface? Dr. Jim Howard, senior pastor at Dillon Community Church in Dillon, CO, and Luke Fraser, senior pastor of Island Baptist Church in Beach Haven, NJ, share ministry realities and insights from their experiences ministering to two unique resort populations. We discuss issues of loneliness and identity and how the Church can respond redemptively to people’s needs, whether they be relational, financial, or spiritual.
