Assignment #1

Why should everbody understand a ministries statement of faith?

I think everyone should understand a ministries statement of faith so they know what the staff believes, so you can respect there believes, becuase they may  not be the same as yours, but that you understand the differences between what you believe and there statement, because if yours is completly different maybe you shouldn't go there.

Hidden Acres Statement of Faith is the Evengelical Free Church of America, and we have been talking about the CCI Statement of Faith, and what the differences are between them. For example the EFCA is much simpler and shorter than the CCI which is more in depth and kind of hard to read through all of it. The CCI is broad when it talks about every point, kind of like leaveing it open to anyone, so they dont leave anyone out. 

During class we talked about examples of why a group should understand our statment of faith here at Hidden Acres, so they knew what to expect when they got here.We do not want a cult or some kind of group like that. We must think what would be good for this camp, and the effects a group might bring with them. Whether it may be alchol, drugs, or sex, As a Christian Camp, we do not want that to be going on here, and we have reputation of the camp and the church to think about here.
