STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES

STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES
OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS OF
COWBOY’S REST CHRISTIAN CAMP AND RETREAT CENTER

Christian Lifestyle

Christian virtues that are expected to be followed include humility, honesty, a forgiving spirit, faith, hope and love. The Bible condemns such practices as greed, jealousy, pride, lust, bitterness, uncontrolled anger, prejudice, drunkenness, stealing, profanity, dishonesty, occult practices, illegal activities, and sexual sins. Camp community members are expected to maintain this Christian lifestyle while exercising our freedoms responsibly, within the framework of God’s Word. This implies stewardship of mind, body, time, abilities, and funds, as well as thoughtful Christian choices in matters of entertainment, associations, and the use of Sunday.

Camp Concerns

Cowboy’s Rest Camp and Retreat Center also has chosen to adopt rules that foster the kind of atmosphere the Camp desires. These rules require members to abstain from gambling, illegal drugs, tobacco, alcoholic beverages, pornography, and ‘R’-rated movies while on camp grounds. Modest dress is mandatory for all of our staff. Also, bearing in mind the importance of the body of Christ to the Christian walk, we require that all of our staff members attend Sunday worship at a local church. (There are several Christian churches in the area to choose from.)
These rules embody foundational principles such as self-control, avoidance of harmful practices, and sensitivity to the heritage and practices of other Christians. While residing and working at Cowboy’s Rest Camp and Retreat Center, all community members are accountable for adhering to these rules.
