100 Years of Camp Glisson

Bishop Robin Dease has named Glisson Camp and Retreat Center as the recipient of the 2025 North Georgia Annual Conference Special Offering. For 100 years, Glisson has been a place of belonging, discovery, transformation, and calling for hundreds of thousands of children, youth, and adults across a century of camp ministry.
 
Generations of Glisson supporters and staff have provided life-changing experiences of Christian community in support of our shared mission: To make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. 100% of this year’s Special Offering will go toward Glisson’s Campership Fund, which makes camp ministry accessible for those who would otherwise be unable to attend. Glisson believes camp ministry is not a luxury but an essential part of the faith formation of children and youth.

Through intentional stewardship and generous support, Glisson has a long history of offering high-quality, transformative camp ministry experiences at a cost well below the national average for a week of camp. Even so, Glisson is committed to ensuring that the cost of camp never prevents a camper from attending. In 2024, Glisson awarded over $60,000 in campership support. Your gift to this year’s Special Offering will help even more children and youth experience belonging and transformation in 2025 and beyond.
 
Churches are invited to receive the offering any time before Annual Conference, but many churches choose Sunday, June 1. One person from each local church will have an opportunity to present a check from their church during the Service of Remembrance on Friday, June 13, or checks may be submitted to the Conference Treasurer's Office.
 
Please indicate gifts as Fund #1140 Annual Conference Special Offering.
