Camp CHOF: A Ministry of Canton Baptist Temple
Camp Rental Agreement
STATEMENT OF FAITH:
Camp CHOF is a ministry of the Canton Baptist Temple and exists to reflect the values of the Kingdom of
God through a unique environment and exciting program with the goal of cultivating genuine relationships
with God and one another. Therefore, we ask that no activities take place on Camp CHOF property that
would be in conflict with the following Statement of Faith:
• THE SCRIPTURES: We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as supernaturally and verbally inspired by God and inerrant in the original writings. They are the complete
and final revelation of the will of God to man, and are the supreme authority in faith and life.
• THE TRUE GOD: We believe in one God: eternal, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent, existing as three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, one in nature, attributes, power, and glory.
• MAN: We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death which is separation from God.
• SALVATION: We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures
as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice and rose again for our justification. All who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood and are saved by grace through faith
wholly apart from human merit and works.
• HOLY SPIRIT: We believe that the Holy Spirit is a divine Person, equal with God the Father &
God the Son; that He baptizes all believers into the body of Christ once at conversion; that He
indwells, seals, endues, guides, teaches, witnesses, sanctifies, and helps the believer. We believe
that the sign gifts of the Holy Spirit are completed and not applicable to the work of the Holy
Spirit today.
• SECURITY OF THE BELIEVER: We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus are born
again by the Holy Spirit through the Word of God and thereby become the children of God and
are eternally secure.
• THE CHURCH: We believe that a local Church is an organized body of believers immersed
upon credible confession of faith in Jesus Christ, sovereign in polity, and bonded together for
work, worship, mutual edification, observance of the ordinances, and worldwide proclamation
of the Gospel.
• LAST THINGS: We believe in the bodily resurrection of all the dead, the saved to eternal life
and blessedness in Heaven and the unsaved to eternal, conscious suffering and woe in Hell.
