Support the Ministry of Montgomery
Volunteer Service, Financial Contributions, Specific Gifts... Choose the way that works best for you to support this vital ministry.
Your generosity changes lives.
Walking around camp with careful attention to plaques on the walls gives an idea of just how many churches and individuals have partnered in ministry to provide a safe space for spiritual curiosity and encounters with God for more than 65 years.
Become a friend of Montgomery Center with your time, gifts, or abilities.
Help support our efforts to grow and reach the next generation of campers with the love of Christ.
Adopt a Staff Member
This summer, we invite your congregation to take part in the ministry of camp in a simple but meaningful way: by adopting one of our summer staff members.
Each staff member plays a vital role in shaping the faith and experience of every camper who walks through our gates. Behind every game, every worship moment, and every late-night conversation is a young leader growing in faith and service.
When Your Church Adopts a Staff Member
You are:
- Praying for them throughout the summer
- Encouraging their growth in faith and leadership
- Participating in the ministry that shapes campers’ lives
Your congregation will receive a short bio of your adopted staff member so you can pray for them by name and share in their story.
You are also invited to visit camp during the summer to meet them and see this ministry firsthand.
What Your Gift Supports
A gift of $50 helps provide each staff member with spiritual resources—including our staff devotion, Holy Ground—and a small recognition gift during the season.
More than anything, this is an invitation to relationship. Your support helps remind our staff that they are not serving alone—they are sent, supported, and prayed for by the wider church.
