MISSION UPSTATE AND ALLENDALE COUNTY

We are partnering with local churches in the Allendale and Poe Mill communities through service projects and helping put on a summer camp for kids in the area. We, as a church, are supporting the local churches in their vision to make disciples by providing short term teams to help facilitate activities each week. Whether you are a family group leader, sports coordinator, or part of a worksite, you will have the chance to interact with and build relationships with people in the local community each day through the activities you take part in. A week spent away from the comfort and familiarity of home will reframe your spiritual mindset and compel you to live a life more fully devoted to Christ’s cause instead of your own.

ALLENDALE

We are partnering with Fairfax First Baptist Church and Nazarene Baptist Church to put on Camp Impact, a 6-week summer camp for kids ages 5-12 in the community. We, as a church, are supporting the local churches in their vision to make disciples by providing short-term teams to help oversee and facilitate camp activities each week. Whether you are a family group leader, sports coordinator, or extracurricular activity leader, you will have the chance to interact with and build relationships with the campers each day through whatever activities you take part in.

As a high school student, you have an incredible opportunity to build relational capital with the campers and help create opportunities for spiritual growth in their lives and yours. A week spent away from the comfort and familiarity of Greenville will reframe your spiritual mindset and compel you to live a life more fully devoted to Christ’s cause instead of your own.
