Services were held for the first time in June, 1942, with Dr. John L. Brasher and the Rev. Henry A. Screws, Jr., as the ministers. The purpose of Beulah Camp is promoting and directing an annual camp meeting which is interdenominational, and which is for the “spreading of Wesleyan doctrine of entire sanctification or scriptural holiness.”
Today, Beulah Camp continues to promote the message of sanctification. Beulah Camp runs for 10 days every summer beginning on the 2nd Thursday in June. Beulah Camp is proud to have growing children, youth, and young adult programs along with ministering to adults of every age.
The South Alabama Holiness Camp Meeting Association – Beulah Camp – had its beginning in 1940 when a group of persons from Monroe County visited the large camp meeting at Indian Springs, Georgia. They decided they would return home and establish a camp meeting in Monroe County. On July 2, 1941, the Rev. Henry A. Screws, Jr., the Rev. O.D Williams, Riley J.D Kelly, Zollie Cole, and Bob Faircloth met together and selected the site where the present camp ground is. The group knelt in prayer around an old stump at the site and asked for God’s blessing and guidance in their work. The organizational meeting for the camp was held September 4, 1941, at Woodlawn Methodist Church, Dottelle, Alabama.
