Spring Break Mission Trips
Each year during spring break for schools, TFC offers a mission trip to a Bible camp. Much of the week is used to clean, fix, and build things for the coming camp year. This year, the trip is to Living Word Bible Camp in Grand Rapids, MN. Living Word has been holding camps since 1973. Living Word’s mission is: “To present the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Christ-centered principles of living to children, young people, and adults while providing a meaningful and affordable camp experience in a beautiful setting, reflective of God's beauty and goodness to us.”
