Mountain T.O.P. 2023

Mountain T.O.P. 2023
June 24 - July 2

Camp Cumberland Pines
Altamont Tennessee

We are so excited to be working on the Mountain again this summer to meet the physical, social, emotional and spiritual needs of the people on the Southern Cumberland Plateau in Grundy County, TN.
To achieve this goal we will be to opening up our hearts and using our hands to do God's work.
We will once again be participating in major home repair. 
Our week long service is woven together with spritual-life programming
starting with a morning Holy Time-Out, Midday Day Break, evening worship and activities.
