Camp Allendale Christian Camp & Retreat Center Trafalgar, IN Summer Camp Faculty Information

Summer Camp Faculty

If you are planning to assist with a session of camp this summer....Thanks! We are anxious to see how God will use you and many others to touch young people's lives. In order to provide a safe environment for all participants, each person that will be serving as a Camp Faculty member must complete an online Faculty Background Check Application before being allowed to serve at Camp Allendale. This application needs to be completed two weeks prior to participating in any Allendale sponsored event. The information is entered through a secure site and any background information is only used to determine eligibility to serve as a volunteer faculty member. No financial records are researched, nor are social security numbers accessible to any Allendale staff members. They are simply a source to obtain accurate criminal background history.

Please read the "statement of faith" listed to the left before you click on the faculty link. After you click on the link, and before you complete the questionnaire, you will be asked to accept and adhere to this statement.

Statement of Faith

God is one being in three persons--God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the source of all creation (Gen. 1:1, John 1:1-2), which He sustains (Col. 1:17) and is in the process of redeeming (Rom. 8:19-22). God the Father loves us and desires that we have fellowship with Him as His children (I John 1:3).
Jesus is the incarnation of God the Son. He is the Word become flesh (John 1:14), and He now holds all authority in heaven and on earth (Matt. 28:18). He is Savior and Lord. He made human salvation possible through His life, death on the cross, and resurrection. He ascended into heaven where He is now our high priest and advocate. He is head of the church.
The Holy Spirit works actively in the world, seeking to glorify Jesus. The Holy Spirit convicts people of sin, righteousness, and judgment to come (John 16:5-11). The Holy Spirit indwells believers individually and completely in the Church. The Holy Spirit developes within the Christian a pure heart which results in Christ-like character expressed in private and public conduct and action.
The Bible, the Old and New Testament Scriptures, is the uniquely inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word of God (2 Tim. 3:14-17; 2 Peter 1:16-21). The Bible is the rule of faith and practice for Christians. We affirm that Scripture is the authoritative revelation from God by which we know God's will and Christ's authority. We see to assert what the Scriptures clearly assert and allow freedom in other cases. We seek to understand divine intent, through authorial intent, and we seek to apply its teaching to the contemporary church and culture.
The Church is the body of Christ on earth, the community of believers throughout the world. Upon surrender to Christ, a person is added to the Church. In addition, the priesthood of all believers means each Christian is called to be a serving minister 1 Peter 2:9-10). The Church's mission is the great Commission (Matt. 28:18-20).
Human beings were created by God to walk in fellowship with Him. However, all (except Jesus) have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23) and must rely on God's grace and forgiveness. Every human fom the moment of life (conception) is in the image of God (imago dei), a person to be nurtured, protected, and developed.
Salvation is by God along through Jesus Christ alone. One accepts Christ as Savior through a conversion process that includes faith, repentance, confession, and baptism (Acts 2:38, 8:12, 10;47-48, Rom. 10:9).
The Lord's Supper is the celebration of the New Covenant, in which the Christian community remembers Christ and celebrates the covenantal relationship they have with Him and with each other. Congregations in this fellowship typically celebrate the Lord's Supper at least weekly (1 Cor. 11:17-34, Acts 20:7).
The Final Coming of Jesus is a time when Christ will personally come again as savior and judge of the world. At that time, there will be bodily resurrection of the dead-believers to eternal lfe with God and unbelievers to eternal judgment. Sin will be no more and believers will live in fellowhip with God forever (1 Thess. 4:13-18, Rev. 20:11-15).
