Mount Moriah Camp Director

God is truly blessing the ministry of Mount Moriah Christian Camp. We are so excited about the upcoming summer. Mount Moriah Christian Camp is a place where the Word of God is preached and young people are encouraged to “Take the High Road”. As a young person, God used the camp ministry to encourage me to make right decisions and to give my life to the Lord Jesus Christ. I know God is at work in our world today, and it is our prayer that God would raise up a generation of young people that will live for Him!

If I can help you in any way, please feel free to contact me at steve.scoggins@templebaptistchurch.com. We look forward to what God will do this summer!

Founder

Mount Moriah Christian Camp was established as a ministry of Temple Baptist Church in Powell, Tennessee. Pastor Clarence Sexton led the church to begin the camp by faith with a vision to stir young people to “Take the High Road” and to strengthen local churches in their efforts to reach young people for Christ.

“The high road is not choosing between the good and the bad. It is choosing between the good and the best and always choosing the best. The best is the unending pursuit of Jesus Christ.” – Clarence Sexton
