Cumberland Springs Bible Camp
Cumberland Springs Bible Camp, located on Dayton Mountain, presents many opportunities to learn and grow physically, socially and spiritually. As we lead activities, we teach campers new skills and challenge them to try new things. Our small group format encourages campers to meet new people, work together and build friendships. Most importantly, we share the essential truths from the Bible and show campers how they can know God and live for Him.
We share God’s Word with children and teens through camps and retreats. Every member of our friendly, caring staff commits to setting an example of Christian love through service. Our Group Leaders make special efforts to connect with campers throughout the week. Many staff members have long attended our camps and have now joined us to help new campers have a wonderful experience.
We want every camper to feel welcomed, to make friends and to have fun. More than that, we pray that every camper would hear God’s Word, respond to the truth and go home a changed person. All glory be to God!
We have many opportunities for Summer Camp at Cumberland Springs Bible Camp coming up.
Day Camp 3 – July 21-25 (Ages 6-12)
Overnight camps are also available.

From the Pastor:
FBC Dayton Family,
Happy July,
I love the Fourth of July! I truly believe that the Lord gave the world the United States of America as a blessing.
Think about the Declaration of Independence; Did you know that of the 56 signers of the Declaration 52 were active members of a Christian church. Of the 56 signers, 29 of them had seminary degrees.
The acts on July 4, 1776, set in motion a change in the world that only God Himself could have known. He ordained and has blessed the United States for the last 249 years! When you look at the degradation of our nation, certainly judgement is here, or is coming. However, we still see God’s hand of mercy upon us.
Let us not forget how He has used this nation;
- Sending Missionaries and Ministries to the lost that live in the “uttermost”!
- Promoting and Fighting for Freedom Liberty and Democracy!
- Providing Foreign Aid to Barren Lands, Impoverished, and those needing disaster relief!
- Medicines, Medical, & other technology!
How can the United States depend on God’s blessings? Love Jesus, Obey the Word, and Bless Israel (That’s at least a good start!)
Psalm 33:12 “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord”
Zechariah 12:9 “In that day I will destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.”
