Our Staff
The Camp is governed by a board of Trustees (15) from Christian Churches in Southwest Missouri and is funded by Churches and individuals who believe in its purposes.
Each year facilities are improved as money allows.
We believe and will teach the following:
God
He is the great I AM. He loves us and sent His Son Jesus to die for us. He speaks from heaven and everyone trembles. He is all powerful, all knowing, and ever present. God reveals himself in a triune way, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. They are three in one.
Jesus Christ
Jesus is the Son of God and is God. He came to earth in a virgin birth to be mankind’s ultimate sacrifice of love so that we can have forgiveness of sin and have eternal life. He was crucified on the cross as a sinless man in order to take our sins upon Himself. He was buried and three days later resurrected to show us He has power over death. He appeared to over 500 people and then ascended to heaven. He will be coming back again to establish His reign forever.
Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is part of the divine trinity and is God. He is the comforter that Jesus promised in the book of John. He helps guide us in our Christian walk. We receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit when we are baptized. He gives us clarity, comfort, and strength in our walk with God, but we are given the choice to suppress Him and not let him affect our lives.
Salvation
Salvation is only found through Jesus our Lord and Savior. We are saved by grace through faith. We cannot earn our salvation, it is a gift, but, we must be willing to receive it by faith. The forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life are available to all through Jesus Christ. Those accepting Jesus should repent of sin, confess their faith, be baptized (immersed) for the forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit, and should grow each day in their relationship with God.
The Church
It is the body and bride of Christ. We are to worship Him and reach others for Him. We are his hands, feet, and mouth. One day Jesus will come back for his bride to be with Him in heaven forever but until that day we are to work diligently for Him.
Heaven/Hell
They are real places. Everyone will be assigned to one or the other at Judgment Day, according to what they did with Jesus while here on earth.
The Authority of God’s Word
The Bible is the inspired revelation of God. It is what we are to use for preaching, teaching, and living our lives.
