Why

The corporation

and family activities, ministry, and accommodations to individuals
who want a Biblical approach to Family living using God’s
natural resources in the great outdoors.
What
We Believe
The statement
of Faith of the corporation is the belief in the following:
- In
the Bible as the inspired and infallible Word of God; without
error; and the final authority or everyone’s beliefs,
lifestyles, and ministry.
- In
one unified God, eternally existent in three persons: Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit.
- In
Jesus Christ, His deity, virgin birth, sinless life, substitution
death on the cross, his resurrection, ascension, and second
coming in the future to judge the living and the dead and
to usher in the heavenly kingdom.
- That
man is created in the image of God, but due to man’s
choice to personally sin he/she is in need of salvation
that comes only by grace through faith in Jesus Christ as
Lord and Savior.
- In
the power and ministry of the Holy Spirit in the believer
enabling the Christian to live a Godly life and serve the
Lord effectively.
- In
the resurrection of the dead of the believer in Christ to
everlasting life in a place called heaven, and the unbeliever
to the resurrection of judgment of an eternity separated
form God forever in a place called hell.
- That
the Biblical model of a family is one man and one woman;
a husband and a wife who have covenanted together in a marriage
ceremony; and any subsequent procreation of children through
their sexual union or the adoption of children of their
live and union.
