Passport

Passport is the highlight of the year for all the youth! This is the annual church camp experience which includes a daily abbreviated mission experience. Passport camps are available in several locations, so, a variety is offered by taking the youth to new places.

Perry County, Alabama

Monte Vista Church has made a commitment to join hands with another nonprofit organization, Sowing Seeds of Hope, to work in Perry County Alabama helping in areas of need. Each year our church body (families) go into this economically impoverished county to do construction work on homes and/or churches and to provide backyard Bible clubs for the children. This trip lasts 6 days.

For the past 5 years, MV youth have joined this effort. Primarily high school students work along side the adults to accomplish these purposes. This trip has become a benchmark for the youth in service to the community. It is one of the “don't miss this trip” experiences that has proven to be life-changing.

Interested youth may sign up now by contacting the church office at (865) 982-6070. The approximate cost is $125 per youth, which includes meals and lodging.

Camping Trip

Each year a big camping trip is planned! Youth who like the great outdoors really thrive in this different environment. While camping, youth are randomly placed in teams that are assigned a schedule of activities they must accomplish during the weekend. Usually this is cooking a meal, cleaning up following a meal, planning and leading in game times and/or spiritual growth times. Everyone is expected to help out and do their part! Leaders are rarely disappointed!
