SUMMER CAMP 2023

Wander West
 The Road to Silver City

Outlaws, twisters, and buzzards! Oh my! Saddle up with our young hero as he faces a fantastical yet familiar wild west! Whether we’re facing crazy critters, blundering bandits, or a fearsome foe, God looks for an honorable spirit.  Join us as we accept this biblical call to action; remain set apart and ready for any challenge! 

“Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.” 2 Timothy 2:21

Junior Camp

We are pleased to have Justin Willis, Director of Children's Ministries at Windsor First Baptist Church.  Justin is no stranger to Mt. Gilead, having served as a well-loved counselor and program team member.  He has a passion for sharing the Gospel and has been a part of leading many campers to faith in Christ. He felt called into ministry at an Awana summer camp in 6th grade, a moment that began the change in his faith from a faith of his parents to a faith of his own.  He is a graduate of William Jessup University and is currently completing his Master's of Divinity Degree from The Cornerstone Seminary.  In March 2021, Justin married the lovely and talented Tyra Ingalls.
