Ministry Opportunities
PERHAPS the most distinctive feature of Crown College is that it is a ministry of Temple Baptist Church. Students participate in the worship services of the church and are also involved in weekly soul-winning ministries. Hearts are challenged and prepared to serve the Lord Jesus Christ through His church.
The annual World Mission Conference and Baptist Friends in the fall are special meetings in which great emphasis is placed on the work of the Lord and the preaching of God’s Word.

Crown Camps
Students also have the opportunity to serve as a camp counselor at one of our four summer camp sites:
Mount Moriah Christian Camp
Powell, Tennessee
Mount Moriah Christian Camp was established as a ministry of Temple Baptist Church. Pastor Clarence Sexton led the church to begin the camp by faith with a vision to stir young people to “Take the High Road” and to strengthen local churches in their efforts to reach young people for Christ. The 110-acre camp property is located just four miles from the church and college campuses.
Lake Texoma Baptist Youth Camp
Pottsboro, Texas
Throughout Texas and the Southwest, stories of what God has done in the hearts of His people throughout the years during camp services are repeated with grateful hearts. God has truly blessed the ministry of Lake Texoma Baptist Youth Camp, which sits on the Texas and Oklahoma state line. It is a camp with a treasured heritage and a bright future.
The Passage Northwest
Heron, Montana
In the summer of 2019, God opened the doors for a new camp property in the Great Northwest. This new property will host camps, Shepherd’s Summits, and special meetings throughout the year.
Camp Victory
Birmingham, England
Camp Victory began in 2011 with a vision to reach children and teens from every background with the gospel of Christ. As a ministry of local churches, the camp is designed to encourage Christian young people as well as introducing the truth of Christ to those who have never heard the gospel. We are grateful God has blessed this work.
The Crown College Choir
Students from every program can be a part of The Crown College Choir! First started by Dr. Earl Holloway, the Crown College choir sings at special meetings and events throughout the year. Each year, the choir has an extraordinary opportunity to travel and minister to the people in New York City every Christmas season, singing in all 5 boroughs, handing out gospel literature to thousands of people.
