Our History

The Founding of Confrontation Point:

In 1980, Confrontation Point Ministries was founded in Altamont, Tennessee by John and Jan Bell. At that time, the ministry was focused predominately upon wilderness adventure trips. The camp grew steadily and, over the years, missions programs were added. Now, each summer we see approximately 100 groups (2000 campers) coming through our programs.

Mission Statement:

Confrontation Point Ministries seeks to create a Christ-centered community and encourage growth through confrontational experiences with God, self, others, and nature.

About Our Name-"Confrontation Point":

We believe that there is a positive aspect to "confrontation" that should be embraced and encouraged in our lives. We desire to be confronted by our weaknesses, our fears, and our shortcomings. Further, we know that confronting one another in a healthy Christian environment produces growth. The Christian life is a journey that is shared with many others who may be able to help us with our growth.
