The heart of the Camping Ministry is a desire to become more like Jesus and less of our flesh. There's no better place to "Be still and know that He is God" than sitting by the side of a rippling mountain stream, resting in one of the meadows in Cades Cove, or just sitting around a campfire beneath a star-filled sky singing praises into the quiet night air to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

The Camping Ministry is a great time to experience rest and relaxation with family and friends away from responsibilities of maintaining a day to day existence in a busy world. The ministry seeks to develop closer relationships with family, make new friends, and through these relationships draw closer to God.

During the months of March to November each year, the Camping Ministry meets for fellowship and outings such as camping, Bed & Breakfasts, and even landscaping. For more information, please contact the Missions Ministry office at 423.899.9186, x132.
