The Future is Bright

 

 

Smoky Mountain Christian Camp is a place where God does amazing things year after year in the lives of students and adults alike through our summer camp program as well as being a place for groups to retreat to and spend some intimate time with Jesus. The Lord has done, is doing, and will continue to do amazing things in the lives of people that come onto our property because he is here.

 

In 2025, Smoky Mountain Christian Camps 50th year, we were able to do some pretty amazing things as well plan for the future with a 5 year plan initiative to expand SMCC.  

 

The Plan:

 

Deeper and Wider: Our 5-Year Strategic Vision

Our next five years are focused on going deeper and wider—deepening our relationships with Christ and one another while widening our reach to share the Gospel with more people than ever before. This plan asks two key questions: How can we create an environment where people can experience life-changing, Christ-centered community? And how can we take that same invitation beyond our walls into our neighborhoods, workplaces, and the world?

Through prayer, planning, and participation, we will build rhythms that grow discipleship, strengthen connection, and expand our impact. Together, we will create space for deeper relationships and broader Kingdom influence—because following Jesus calls us both inward to grow and outward to go.

 

In year 1 we were able to complete a large list of strategic operational goals as well as some major upgrade projects to our current facilities. Below is a list of all we were able to complete.

 

Year 1 Completed

 

- Extension of Bills house for Billy and Jenni to move into to open camp house for year round                                                 availability to Bobby and Caylee

             - Lodge facelift (new roof , new siding)

             - Redo walkway to campfire

             - New canoes/paddleboards

             - Hire Tech Manager

             - Improve Signage 

             - Improve chapel sound equipment

             - Connect generator to water supple to have when power goes out

             - New walkie talkie's for deans use 

 

 

 

Now, we are in Year 2 and we have a few  BIG PROJECTS!!!

 

A STAFF CABIN!!!!

 

For years we have been in need of a more private place for our staff to live in the summers. Building this cabin will not only provide that but also help with our need for more space in the summer for campers and faculty. The upstairs of the lodge is where the staff has been staying for years and it is a perfect addition for camper space! Our goal is to build this cabin for $150,000 and we could use your help to get there.

 

Another big project is reflooring of our kitchen area. This has been a huge need for some time now and we are excited to get this project done. We are hiring this project out and we are thinking that it will cost $15,000. Would you help us get there?

 

Our last major project is a remodel of the bathrooms in cabin Matthew. These bathrooms have served the camp well but are in need for an upgrade. We plan to rearrange the bathroom area for more privacy per stall! This project will cost around $10,000 !
 

 

Funding….

 

SMCC is truly blessed by having some incredible partners in this ministry through our supporting churches, our many individual givers called friends of the camp that give monthly, and many one time givers that have all blessed the camp immensely over the years.
 

 

As we continue to aim to deepen our relationships with Christ and one another while widening our reach to share the Gospel with more people we would ask that you would prayerfully consider joining us by adding SMCC to your prayer list or becoming a  financial supporter of what God is doing here. God has big plans for SMCC we are just so blessed that we are getting to see them unfold.

 

Thank you for all of your support,
