About Us

  • Beginnings

    • In 2002, five men and their wives, with a passion of the Awana ministry, formed a nonprofit 501C(3) organization registered in the State of Montana for the primary purpose of supporting the Awana ministry in Montana and Northern Wyoming.
    • Big Sky Scholarship Camp: When Awana stopped their camping ministry in 2006, BSSM established Big Sky Scholarship Camp (BSSC) to start with the summer of 2007. BSSM wanted to continue a camping ministry to motivate Awana clubbers to finish their books so they can have great fun, learn more about Jesus, meet new friends, and to learn to serve Him now. Since its beginning, God has expanded the ministry of BSSC to reach campers and staff from Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, Washington, Oregon, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida.


    Board of Directors

    • There is a Board of Directors of Big Sky Strategic Ministries, Inc to work towards the Goal of BSSM.

    Source of Income
