Core Values
The Word of God and the Gospel of the Lord Jesus
God's Word, the Bible, is our absolute authority, guiding our lives and ministry. The Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, the power unto salvation, is the only message we proclaim.
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.
(2 Timothy 3:16; see also Romans 1:16)
Building Relationships
We seek to build healthy relationships with campers, counselors, staff mobilizers, and ministry partners with a goal to build a family that runs intentionally hard after Christ.
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has not pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech, but with actions and in truth. (I John 3:16-18)
Reaching the Unreached and Least Reached Children (People Groups and those with Special Needs)
We put an emphasis on children with special needs and their families by sharing and living the truth that the Lord loves them and has created them with a purpose. One day, through the finished work of Christ on the cross, they will be made new and will glorify the Lord in Heaven together with all the saints.
And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, ‘Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.’ (Mark 10:13-16)
Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! (Psalm 96:3)
Partnering with and Strengthening the Local Church
Our goal and desire is to see the local church built and strengthened so that our campers are established and discipled in a local church.
...On arriving there, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles. And they stayed there a long time with the disciples. (Acts 14:19-28)
Exhibiting Servant Leadership with Humility, Excellence, Integrity, and Financial Accountability
As Christ’s ambassadors in this world, we strive to conduct ourselves as His representatives, diligently working to the best of our abilities and aiming for excellence in all we do to reflect the heart of God.
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. (I Corinthians 10:31; see also Luke 22:25-26; 2 Corinthians 4:5; Colossians 3:17; 2 Timothy 2:15)
