What is Boot Camp about?

MISSION

Our mission is to educate, equip, and empower people from all walks of life to successfully fulfill their life purpose and be reconciled to God, self, family, and community.

BOOT CAMP ACRONYM

B.O.O.T.C.A.M.P stands for "Because of Others testimony Christ Answered My Prayers."

WHAT IS BOOTCAMP?

It's a safe, transparent affirming community of Christian brothers who process complex male issues together, conquer life's challenges, nurture their spiritual lives, engage in authentic fellowship and hold one another accountable.

WHO CAN ATTEND BOOT CAMP?

Boot Camp sees one hundred to three hundred men and boys from all walks of life at 5:45 a.m. during one of our three annual Boot Camps. It is attended by young fathers bringing their infant and young sons, single mothers & grandmothers drop off their sons, professional men, ex-felons, clergy, public safety officials, politicians, husbands, single men, retirees, men riding bikes, disabled men, Caucasian men, African-American men, Latino men, incarcerated men whosoever will come. Boot Camp is a transformative ministry for all boys and men.

HOW DID BOOT CAMP START?

Led by God, passionate for men and encouraged by His mentors, Boot Camp started by Pastor Darryl K. Webster over eighteen years ago at Emmanuel Missionary Church in Indianapolis, Indiana with 70 men. Since its inception, Boot Camp has now grown to serve over thousands of men, youth, marriages and inmates, established numerous satellite camps from all over the USA and in West Africa and been featured in two documentaries.

WHY BOOT CAMP?

There's a hole in the fabric of the soul of our boys and men where layers of unresolved issues, traumatic experiences, abuse, unhealed grief and wounds are lodged that go unaddressed, unhealed and not properly treated.
