Raising Money for Missions
The Children’s Ministry has become effective fund-raisers for our Indian Springs missionaries each year!
- General daily offerings
- Entrepreneurial projects include selling lemonade, frogs, jewelry, pickles and providing tasks to people. (Our children are very creative, so expect to see them on the campground engaged in a variety of fund-raising tasks!)
Telling the Story to the Next Generation
The Glenn Tabernacle dates from the 1920’s and is rich in Indian Springs legacy that is often shared with our younger campers. It has been a place where many small hearts have made big commitments.
When possible, our children have the opportunity to hear the history of Indian Springs. Helen Rhea Stumbo, great-granddaughter of one of the founders (Rev. George Mathews), tells the story of how campmeeting began. Helen Rhea is featured at above, dressed as Mrs. Annie Mathews, in her story-telling mode! She wants the children to understand that many people have worked hard over a hundred and thirty plus years so that they can learn about Jesus today.
