Twin Cities Association of Mission Professionals

See schedule below

TCAMP is the Twin Cities Association of Mission Professionals, a network of pastors, ministry leaders, and lay people who meet monthly to exchange ideas, resources and information related to the Great Commission.

Each TCAMP meeting is from 12:30 – 2:00, hosted by various churches and ministries around the Twin Cities. A typical program begins with a time for networking, introductions of people in attendance, announcements or sharing information & resources, followed by a program presentation and discussion that is about 60 minutes long.

The topics discussed by TCAMP leaders are issues related to global and cross cultural missions. See below for a schedule and meeting location.
