  1. bible studyWe believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
  2. We believe the Bible is the inspired, authoritative Word of God.
  3. We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in his virgin birth, in his sinless life, in his death on the cross, in his bodily resurrection, in his ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in his personal return.
  4. We believe people receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life through Jesus Christ, crucified and risen.
  5. We believe that Jesus Christ makes each believer a new creation. In the risen Christ, the Spirit begins a lifetime process of healing and transforming the heart and life of each believer. All followers of the Lord Jesus Christ embrace a totally new vision of life’s meaning and purpose.
  6. We believe our Lutheran interpretation of Christian faith – including our rich, sacramental, grace-filled theological understanding of scripture and faith from the unaltered Augsburg Confession and the Book of Concord – provides the best foundation for our camps’ programs to share of God’s radical grace initiative in Jesus Christ.
