About Us

This Camp  holds these doctrines to be a sacred trust held by all members of the  Board  of Directors, and the communicant members of Didasko Christians  Association:

SECTION 1.    THE HOLY SCRIPTURES

We  believe the Holy Scripture to be the verbal, inspired Word of God,  authoritative, and without error in the original manuscripts.  We  further believe that the Scriptures of both the Old and New Testaments  are designed for our practical instruction in faith and conduct. (2  Timothy 3:16-17) and (2 Peter 1:21).

SECTION 2.    THE GOD HEAD

We  believe that the Godhead eternally exists in three persons – the  Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit – and that these three are one God  (Deuteronomy 6:4); (Genesis 1:26); (Matthew 28:19).

SECTION 3.    THE PERSON AND WORK OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

We  believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, came into  the world that He might manifest God to men, fulfill prophecy, and  become the Redeemer of a lost world.  To this end, He was born of the  Virgin Mary, received a human body and a sinless human nature without  ceasing to be God (Luke 1:20-35); (John 1:1, 14, 18); (Hebrews 4:15);  (Philippians 2:5-11).

We believe that, in infinite love for the  lost, He voluntarily accepted His Father’s will and became the divinely  provided sacrificial Lamb and took away the sins of the world (Romans  3:25-31); (2 Corinthians 5:14); (Hebrews 10:5-14).

We  believe that He arose from the dead in the same body, through  glorified, in which He had lived and died and that His resurrected body  is the pattern of that body which ultimately will be given to all  believers (John 20:20); (Philippians 3:20-21).

We believe that,  on departing from the earth, He was accepted by His Father and that His  acceptance is a final assurance to us that His redeeming work was  perfectly accomplished (Hebrews 1:3).

We believe that He became  Head over all things to the church, which is His body, and in this  ministry He continues to intercede and to be an advocate for the saved  (Luke 1:35); (1 Corinthians 15:1-3); (Ephesians 1:23); (Philippians  2:6-8); (1 Timothy 2:5); (1 John 2:1-2).

SECTION 4.    THE HOLY SPIRIT

We  believe that the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, indwells  every believer immediately after he places his faith in the Lord Jesus  Christ and that God provides, through the Hold Spirit, power to live the  Christian life.

SECTION 5.    THE PERSONALITY OF SATAN

We  believe that Satan, the devil is the prince of demons and is the  declared adversary of God and man.  However, when the Lord Jesus Christ  died on the Cross, He limited the power of the devil and guaranteed the  ultimate triumph of God (Ephesians 2:2); (1 Peter 5:8); (Revelation  20:10); (Colossians 2:13-15).

SECTION 6.    SALVATION

We  believe that no one can enter the kingdom of God unless born again  spiritually, and that the new birth of the believer comes through faith  in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 

We believe, also, that  our redemption has been accomplished by the grace of God, and unmerited  gift, given in love by god and not the result of any human works (John  3:7-18); (2 Corinthians 5:21); (Galatians 3:13); (Romans 4:4-5).

We  believe that upon receiving the Lord Jesus Christ by faith, the  believer passes immediately out of spiritual death into spiritual life,  and into fellowship with God (John 1:12; 5:24).

We also believe  that once this salvation is accomplished, we and all true believers  everywhere shall be kept saved forever (John 10:28-29); (Romans 3:24;  8:35-39); (2 Timothy 2:11-12); (Galatians 2:16); (Ephesians 2:5, 8-10).

SECTION 7.    THE CHURCH

We  believe that all who are united to the risen and ascended Son of God  are members of the Church which is the body of Christ (1 Corinthians  12:12-27); (Acts 2:42-47).

We believe that the explicit message  of our Lord Jesus Christ to those whom He has saved is to make Christ  known to the whole world and that his is the purpose of the Church  through the individuals within it (Matthew 28:18-19); (Acts 1:8); (2  Corinthians 5:11-21).

We believe that the local churches, gather  together for practical instruction in the Scriptures, for fellowship  with God and with other believers, and for corporate witness to the  unsaved world.  Our common spiritual goal is to grow toward Christ’s  likeness (Matthew 28:18-20); (Acts 2:42-47); (Romans 12:5); (Ephesians  4:13-16). 

SECTION 8.    THE RAPTURE AND THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST

We  believe that a future period of great tribulation on earth will climax  by the return of the Lord Jesus Christ to the earth as He went in person  in the clouds with power and great glory to establish His millennial  kingdom.  But prior to this tribulation, we believe there will be the  coming of the Lord Jesus Christ in the air to receive to Himself into  Heaven both His own who are alive and remain until His coming and also  all who have died in Christ Jesus (1 Thessalonians 4:13-17); (Zechariah  14:4-11); (Revelation 3:10).

SECTION 9.    ETERNAL STATE

We  believe that at death the spirits and souls of those who have trusted  in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation pass immediately into His  presence and there remain in conscious bliss until the resurrection of  the glorified body when Christ comes for His own, whereupon soul and  body reunited shall be associated with Him forever in glory.  All those  who rejected Jesus Christ will eternally be separated from God to endure  His eternal wrath forever (2 Corinthians 5:8); (Revelation 20:11-15;  21:1-27).

SECTION 10.  THE RESPONSIBILITY OF LEADERS

We  believe that God appoints leaders (Elders and Deacons, in this case the  Board of Directors) to guide His Camp in the understanding and  application of Holy Scripture.  It is their responsibility to be  examples of Godliness as they see to the spiritual wellbeing and  protection of the flock over which God has given them charge (Acts  6:1-8); (Acts 20:28); (Hebrews 13:17); (1Peter 5:1-3).

SECTION 11.  ORDINANCES

We  believe that the Lord Jesus Christ instituted the ordinances of Baptism  and the Lord’s Supper to be observed by all believers until His return  (Matthew 28:19); (Luke 22:19-20); (Acts 10:47-48).

We believe  that the ordinance of Baptism is immersion of the believers in water as  it sets forth the essential facts in redemption – the death and  resurrection of Christ and the essential resurrection to newness of life  (Romans 6:4); (Acts 8:26-39).

We believe that the Lord’s Supper  is a privilege afforded to all believers in commemoration of the Lord’s  death until He comes (1 Corinthians 11:23-28).

SECTION 12.  MARRIAGE

We  believe that marriage has been designed, designated and instituted by  God between one man and one woman in accordance with the scriptures  (Genesis 2:18-24).
