Experience the Thrill of the Hunt:
4th Annual Sportsman’s Banquet at Calvary Church
This year we are thrilled to welcome Jim VanSteenhouse, AKA The Bear Man.
In September 2015, VanSteenhouse, an avid sportsman and adventurer, boarded a plane headed to Canada’s NW Territories to pursue his dream of archery hunting moose in the Mackenzie Mountain Range. The adventure did not go as planned. On the fourth day of the hunt, deep in the wilderness and miles from base camp, he went from hunter to hunted.
Unaware that he was being stalked, Jim was viciously attacked by a Grizzly Bear. A man of faith, he found that faith tested when the world’s largest carnivore tossed him like a ragdoll, with its teeth ripping his flesh, breaking his bones, and raking into his skull. Jim survived by the grace of God and with help from his brave Canadian guide.
We are so excited for this year’s event. It will have fun for the whole family!
There will be games, prizes, and an amazing gourmet meal from our award-winning chef! Get your deer antlers scored by a certified Commemorative Bucks of Michigan measurer.
