Let us tell you about Odosagih Bible Conference. We are a non-denominational ministry located on the southwest shore of beautiful Lime Lake in Machias, New York. We are 45 miles from Buffalo, 45 miles from Bradford, PA, 60 miles from Jamestown, NY and 80 miles from Rochester, NY. The 66-acre camp property is nestled among trees and the grounds are dotted with cottages, campsites, a motel, guesthouse, dining hall, activity center, and recreational areas. The property also includes the Director's residence, a residence for the Maintenance Director and one (Bethany) for the Facilities Manager.
Our motel sits high above the lake with a fantastic view. Visible from this point are the paddleboats, rowboats, canoes, and kayaks available to rent and docks you can rent to keep your own boat while you’re here. The old-fashioned Tabernacle, with its raised side panels, sits by the entrance of the grounds where God's praises can be heard on a summer night's breeze. Our air-conditioned Dining Hall can accommodate 144 guests. Home cooked meals are served daily, with self-serve continental breakfast and cafeteria-style lunch and supper. From there, one can enjoy a meal and see the lake and folks enjoying the pool, playground, and miniature golf.
Shuffleboard, volleyball, basketball, gaga ball, and fishing can also be enjoyed. You can spend the day, stay a few nights, or for a week. No need to be a camper to enjoy Odosagih's grounds or programs.
The RV and camping areas bustle from mid-May through mid-October with families enjoying together all that Odosagih has to offer. Great Bible teaching and music are offered daily in the Tabernacle. Surely Odosagih is a special place!
Our programming includes a weekend-long conference each Memorial Day weekend. A Men’s Retreat is held in April each year and Ladies' Retreats are held in the Spring and Fall. Christmas and Valentine's Brunches are highlights of the year. July through Labor Day weekend is our summer conference season. Each Saturday a delicious meal is served at 4:45 PM followed by a special concert at 6:30 PM. Sunday morning service begins at 10:30 AM. Sunday – Friday evening services are at 6:30 PM. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning services and Tuesday & Thursday Prayer Meetings are at 9:30 AM. Speakers and musicians will share the Gospel in word and music all week. There is great singing and fellowship for all gathered. We also offer a nursery program & a program for grades K-6 during most services. A program for teens is offered Monday, Wednesday, and Friday during evening services and teens join the adults for morning services.
Our Fall Festival event is held on Columbus Day/Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. The fall colors around the property are breathtaking!
Retreats are scheduled by various groups on the conference property throughout the year.
We are excited that our new Whitney Activity Center is now open. This multi-functional building includes the Snack Shop and a fellowship area, a small stage area, several meeting rooms, a Nursery, and multi-use gymnasium available for sports, special programs, and events. This building has already begun to enhance the conference ministry all year ‘round.
