OUR MISSION IS TO GROW STUDENTS TO BE THE CHURCH!

Students aren’t just the future of the church—they ARE the Church. Our purpose is to help students grow to discover their God-given purpose and gifts in order to live a life fully devoted to Him.

Mission Fuge 2026 | July 6-10 | 7-12th grade | Cumberland University

Every student should experience camp—it’s a must! Camp is an exciting adventure that breaks away from the everyday routine and dives into a life-changing environment centered on building a deeper relationship with Christ. During this unforgettable week, we’ll serve local communities around Lebanon, Tennessee, and take part in meaningful ministry. It’s the best week of the year to strengthen friendships, make new ones, and grow closer to Christ in ways you never imagined!

Mission Fuge isn’t just a camp — it’s a life-changing mission experience that equips students to serve others, grow in faith, and return home with a heart to lead. Your child will step out of their comfort zone into hands-on ministry, vibrant worship, and spiritual growth — making this a summer they won’t forget.

Registration and $100 Deposit deadline is January 11th.

The cost is $400 per person. Fundraising opportunities and scholarships are available. We never want money to be the reason a student can't go to camp!

  • Fall Fundraiser: As son as you register you can start the fundraiser we are doing with Rusty Eck Ford. We are selling $10 raffle tickets to win a Truck or SUV from Rusty Eck Ford. Every dollar you earn for each ticket goes directly to your camp fund. Contact Bryant for details on how to get started.

  • Spring: Details TBD, stay tuned.

If you have any questions, reach out to Bryant at bryant@gccnewton.com
