From the President
Why should you visit the Hartselle Camp Meeting?
One of the best-kept secrets in North Alabama is found right here in Hartselle, Alabama. Among the towering oaks and rolling hills sits the old Tabernacle - an open-air worship pavilion that has stood for the past 122 years!
The Hartselle Camp Meeting includes 11 acres of beautiful landscape, rustic cabins, a modern, air-conditioned Dining Hall, and the original Tabernacle - which was completely renovated in 2018. In 2008, we began using the Puckett Youth Dormitory which is able to provide overnight lodging for up to 100 students, and includes a meeting space for 150 people.
The new Caretaker's Cottage is the most recent building on the campgrounds, having been completed in 2016. It houses Tom & Leeann Sparks, our Camp Caretakers. Along with their two sons, this amazing couple resides permanently on the grounds of the Hartselle Camp Meeting!
The 122nd encampment will take place in the cooler month of June. The dates are Sunday-Friday, June 20-25, 2021. This is the weekend of Father's Day, and our Men will be honored this year in the first service! There will be programming for Youth and College students throughout the day. Two daily Worship Services (10:30 AM and 7:00 PM) are open to the public, and are always the focal points of the Camp Meeting experience!
In spite of the recent pandemic, last year's encampment was one of our best ever! We had an amazing group of Students to attend (40), warm fellowship, dynamic preaching, and tremendous food. Katherine & Burl Landers served as our Dining Hall Directors, and did an absolutely remarkable job feeding our attendees all week!
Our Camp Evangelists for 2021 will be enlisted in the near future, along with our entire Camp Program! I will provide programming for Youth & College students, and our Dorm Counselors will again be Hudson & Anna Cain. Overnight lodging for students will be available for the entire Camp Meeting (see "Youth & College" tab to the left).
Make plans to join us for each service in the upcoming year - both morning and evening - to hear good preaching from God's Word. There are so many reasons for you to come and visit the Hartselle Camp Meeting!
New Features - You can visit our Facebook Page to watch any or all of last year's eleven (11) powerful Hartselle Camp Meeting services! In addition, we now offer a convenient ONLINE GIVING feature. Our supporters can make contributions from the safety of their own homes!
Please pray for God to continue to use the Hartselle Camp Meeting in a powerful way. I hope you will join us this year!
In Christ,
