Doctrinal and Ethical Covenant

Our Doctrine

Youth Camps for Christ, Inc. accepts the brief Articles of Faith as follows:

That the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired of God, and is a perfect treasure of Heavenly instruction.
That God eternally exists in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
That man, created in a state of holiness under God, fell into the bondage of sin through the temptation of Satan.
That salvation of sinners is wholly of grace through the atonement of our sins by the Lord Jesus Christ, who by the Holy Spirit was born of the Virgin Mary and took upon him our nature, yet without sin, truly God and truly man.
That the blessings of salvation are made free to all by the Gospel, and upon repentance and faith, all true believers endure to the end by the power of God.
That the Lord Jesus Christ, who was resurrected from the tomb and ascended into Heaven, will visibly and personally return to this earth in power and glory.
