MISSIONS IN ACTION
Hillcrest’s mission action plan teaches the Bible, the Great Commandment, the Great Commission and all the teachings of Jesus Christ in the Power of the Holy Spirit.
1. HBC is a MISSION BASE for evangelism and making disciples, marking disciples through baptism by immersion in His churches, maturing disciples throuh preaching, teaching, learning and practicing all that Jesus commanded, and mobilizing His disciples to go to our Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the Earth.
2. The Camp is a MISSION OUTPOST from which churches, associations, youth groups, etc. can stay at Hillcrest and reach out to the hurting mission fields in the heartland of America through the “Mississipi River Ministries” (MRM) to provide disaster relief, vacation Bible schools, surveys, literacy projects, backyard Bible clubs, food ministries, construction projects, healthcare ministries, clothing ministries, block parties, camps, rallies, etc.
3. Hillcrest is a MISSION TRAINING CENTER where volunteers can be trained working in local river ministries, prisons, Hog Rock Motorcycle Ministries, etc. and state, national, and international mission projects.

The vast majority of our pastors and church ministers in the Southern Baptist Convention are very special and dedicated bi-vocational pastors and church ministers who take care of their families by pastoring a church and working in a lay or other position to provide for their families. Unfortunately, some do not have sufficient time nor money to obtain ministerial training. Thus, Hillcrest tries to provide conferences, seminars and other aids to help them with their sacred calling and responsibilities. If you are interested, please contact the Camp Manager by clicking on “Staff”. If we can provide other services to you, please let the Camp Manager know and we will be very grateful.
