High School Students!!! Join CSM on a MISSION TRIP this summer, June 15 - June 21, 2024. We are going to Camp Barnabas. Find out more and sign up at community-church.com/barnabas.
Camp Barnabas seeks to reach those with Special Needs with the Gospel of Christ. Because of the range of disabilities, one of the best ways we can do that is by simply being the Hands of Jesus. The job of volunteers like counselors and barnstormers is to help campers one on one to make them feel at home, cared for, and seen at camp. This is a great opportunity to serve, you will walk away from it humbled, and hopefully, change your perspective of what it means to love others, even the “outcasts” the way Jesus did.
