Mission Madness Is Here!
DATE: April 22-24, 2022
Hosted by
First Baptist Bristol!

Mission Madness is a weekend retreat, usually held in the Spring, that focuses on sending students out to do mission work in local communities. Mission Madness is always based at a local church with participants spending the night in local hotels. On Friday and Saturday nights, students participate in an engaging worship service that challenges them to consider their role in God’s work in the world. During the day on Saturday, students are split up into groups of 15 or 20 (from different congregations) that travel all over the community they are based in to join God in the work that is already happening there. These mission sites are chosen by the host congregation and help strengthen that church’s relationship with non-profits and other groups in their towns. Mission sites may include sites like sorting food, painting walls, leading children’s programming, planting new community gardens or spending time in retirement facilities.
Volunteers are needed!
Give Ben a call at 423-217-8934 or email to ben@fbcbristol.org.
