Did you know? The Lebanon Christian Church Battle of the BBQ team is looking for teammates! No experience necessary! The only characteristic needed is the desire to take part in a friendly competition while loving on the Boone County community.
Since 2016, men and women from Lebanon Christian Church have participated in the annual Battle of the BBQ competition. The "battle" benefits the Boone County Cancer Society. In 2023, nearly $100,000 was raised for the organization to support cancer patients throughout Boone County.
Throughout its Battle of the BBQ involvement, the Lebanon Christian Church team has utilized its large meat smoker in this community outreach endeavor. LCC was voted Beef Brisket Champion in 2023! We also won in 2017 for Hot & Spicy Champion, 2019 Grand Champion, 2021 Best Decorated, and 2022 Hot & Spicy Champion. More important than the competition is the comradery with the other teams and attendees.
