It's time for church in Branson...the perfect destination for faith-based travel!

When it comes to group travel, there's likely no market sector that takes more into consideration than a faith-based group. Whether it's a gathering of Sunday school instructors, youth leaders, pastors, or a church board of directors, many of their needs will align with those of any group, while others are unique to religious organizations. Regardless of what the group represents, they'll want to be assured that their destination of choice understands what sets faith-based organizations apart from all other travel groups.

There's no destination that understands and embraces faith-based travel like Branson, and there's no other vacation planning service in Branson that knows how to work with groups like Branson Tourism Center. With a full-service Groups Department, staffed with well-trained, local professionals; Branson Tourism Center can handle every aspect of your group's trip to Branson. We can organize your entire itinerary; including finding a place for your church group to meet, and provide your group with a list of churches in the area that will welcome you to their services.

Branson is passionate about faith; although largely a Christian community, it welcomes faith-based groups of all kinds. Churches, temples, synagogues, and other places of worship can be found in Branson and nearby communities. But most importantly for groups, Branson enjoys a hard-to-find atmosphere that's clean, wholesome, patriotic, and family-centered; qualities treasured by church groups. And Branson's blessed with a population of residents who embrace their belief in a higher power, a belief that's helped construct more than one hundred places of worship. Branson's also the kind of place that jumps at the chance to hold services and other special events in local music theaters, including services by entertainers, like Barbara Mandrell.

Many of Branson's entertainers showcase their faith by including gospel music segments in their shows, and some shows are exclusively based in the music of faith, like Sunday Gospel Jubilee. And when it comes to holidays, especially Christmas, Branson keeps it genuine, always celebrating the true reason for the season, and celebrating it publicly and proudly. An annual Adoration Parade and lighting of an enormous nativity (adoration scene) atop Mt. Branson is held every December. Area drive-through light displays include nativities and other religious scenes along their route.

Branson is thrilled to be home to one of the famous Sight & Sound Theaters, the venue that is currently hosting the phenomenal production of "Moses," an epic adventure and powerful tale of one man's journey from humble and broken to the follower of God who delivers the children of Israel from enslavement. The story is shared by a phenomenal cast, astonishing sets, a brilliant score, and stunning costumes. Another wonderful example of how people in Branson express their faith is the Shrine of the Holy Spirit. The owner of a local theater created the Shrine, located by the Mansion Theater in the Branson Meadows area, and there is no admission fee to visit; however, there are varying costs to use the chapel located on the site.
