What is M-Fuge?

M-Fuge is a summer camp and mission trip all wrapped up together.  There are crazy summer camp games, meaningful times of worship, and growth oriented Bible Studies – along with impactful opportunities to minister in the community.

When is M-Fuge?

June 28-July 2 – We’ll depart from the church around 10AM and travel to Lynchburg, VA – stopping for lunch on the way.  We’ll return on Friday, July 2 around 4PM.

How much does it cost?

$350 – this includes transportation down and back, housing, food while at camp.

Students will need to bring some money for food on the way down and back.  Having some extra cash on hand will be helpful for snacks, souvenirs, and the mission offering.

Here is some information from the Fuge website:

At MFuge, you will jump into ministry and serve in local communities

Highly trained FUGE staffers will take care of the details, lead Bible study and facilitate the planning for each day. At MFuge, Students are divided into groups for Bible study and ministry based on the type of work they request. Adult leaders from PBC will accompany Bible study groups to the ministry site. Lunch is provided on campus before groups leave for site.

During the day we will be challenged and stretched as individuals; in the evenings, we’ll have an opportunity to build group unity over dinner, worship, fellowship and church group devotions.

MFuge is designed to give students a mission experience that opens their eyes to similar opportunities they may have to serve in their own communities, learning to live life each day on mission!
