Statement of Faith
We trust the Bible as God’s Word. We confess one God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and Jesus crucified and risen for our salvation. By grace through faith we follow Christ and serve His church until He returns. We joyfully confess these core truths of historic, evangelical Christianity. They shape our camp’s teaching, worship, and community life.
God
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—coequal in glory, power, and majesty. Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19
Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus is fully God and fully man; conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died in our place as a perfect sacrifice, rose bodily, ascended to the Father, and will personally return in glory. John 1:1–14; 1 Corinthians 15:3–8; Acts 1:9–11
Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit glorifies Christ, convicts the world, brings new birth, indwells believers, and empowers them with gifts and fruit for holy living and service. John 16:7–15; Galatians 5:22–25; 1 Corinthians 12
Humanity
We believe all people are created in God’s image with great dignity, yet through sin are separated from God and in need of salvation by His grace. Genesis 1:26–27; Romans 3:23
Salvation
We believe salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone—not earned by works but received by trusting in His death and resurrection. Those who believe are forgiven, made new, and kept by God. Ephesians 2:8–9; Titus 3:4–7; John 10:27–30
The Church
We believe the universal Church is the body of Christ made up of all who trust Him, expressed in local congregations that gather for worship, Word, prayer, ordinances, fellowship, and mission. Acts 2:42–47; Ephesians 4:4–16
Ordinances
We joyfully practice baptism and the Lord’s Supper as Christ’s ordinances—visible signs that proclaim the gospel and strengthen believers’ faith. Matthew 28:19; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26
Our Hope
We await the blessed hope—the return of Jesus, the resurrection of the dead, final judgment, and the restoration of all things in a new heaven and new earth where God dwells with His people. Titus 2:13; Revelation 21–22
