Our Staff & Board

RANDALL WESTFALL is the camp manager of Camp Emmaus, a camp/outdoor ministry center affiliated with the Church of the Brethren Illinois/Wisconsin District. He began his role in September 2023. He previously served as camp director of Camp Brethren Heights (MI) helping it to grow and add a variety of programs during his tenure. He brings strong gifts in administration, program, outdoor education, spirituality, and ministry with a passion for “connecting people to Creation, the Creator, and the Church.”
 
An ordained minister in the Church of the Brethren, Randall previously served CoB congregations in Indiana. He attended Manchester University and completed his graduate level work in the Church of the Brethren’s Training in Ministry (TRiM) program and has naturalist certification from the Wilderness Awareness School (WA).

Randall is married to Brenda, and they have two children, Heidi and Hewyt. One unique thing about their family is that they perform Irish, Celtic and Old-Time dance music at various festivals and events. When he’s not actively involved in the ministry at camp, he can be found pursuing hobbies and interests such as woodcarving, making music on the guitar, banjo and mandolin, facilitating men’s spirituality groups, writing, birding, pickleball and slingshots.
