You’re invited to apply for the third annual Equip Ministry Camp, hosted by the College of Biblical Studies at Freed-Hardeman University. The camp will take place from Tuesday, May 26, through Friday, May 29, and is open to young men aged 13-19. The mission of the camp is to provide a learning environment for you to study the Word of God, prepare and present lessons, and enhance your ability to minister in a congregational setting. The camp, limited to 48 applicants, will include time with mentors, collaborative preparation for ministry and relationship-building activities. Upon approval, the camp fee for each student is $150. For more information, contact Doug Burleson, Director of Equip Ministry Camp, at dburleson@fhu.bramblettgrp.com.
Equip Ministry Camp is limited to no more than forty-eight 13-19 year old teen boys. The camp directors will select no more than 48 of the applicants based on the nature of the materials submitted including the camp application, the 500-word essay on the applicants ministry goals, and the recommendations received for the individual applicant.
Classes will be taught by FHU College of Biblical Studies faculty and other invited guests. You will learn about four areas of ministry: biblical interpretation, preparing and delivering lessons, apologetics and community engagement. Each participant will present a lesson on the last day of the camp, which teachers and mentors will help each participant to prepare for during the week.
You will need to bring: a pillow, twin-bed linens (extra-long), towels, toiletries, swim trunks, a Bible and a notebook. Participants must follow FHUs dress code policy found on pages 34-35 of the FHU student handbook at the Student Handbook.
All the young men will be staying on the same floor in Sewell for the week.
The fee for Equip Ministry Camp is $150.
