Founded in the middle 1940s by the Bible Memory Association, Southland was known as Miracle Camp, which closed in the early 1990s because of financial problems. The retreat is located on a 23-acre lake off U.S. Route 371 north of Ringgold. Southland subsequently obtained the property with help of the Tri-City Baptist Church of Blue Springs, Missouri.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.southlandcamp.org/about-us.html|title=About Us: Southland Christian Ministries|publisher=southlandcamp.org|accessdate=January 29, 2017}}</ref>

We desire to build lasting relationships centered around our unified commitment to [[Jesus Christ|Christ]].  We desire to promote true discipleship for Christ through straightforward teaching of the Word of [[God]], one-on-one confrontation, life example, and encouragement for lasting personal growth. We emphasize the importance of disciplined living, persevering through suffering, and being devoted to knowing God and following His path.  Discipleship ministry involves giving all for the sake of another’s spiritual growth.<ref name=aboutsouthland/></blockquote>
