Assingment #4
What is the relationship and what is the difference between parachurch and church ministry?
The relationship in both a church and a parachurch is that they both are ministries for reaching out to people. For those that don't know what a parachurch is, it can be a missionaries, a Christian camp such as Hidden Acres.
The difference in a church and a parachurch, is that a parachurch is supposed to be temporary Another difference is that there may not be a pastor there to learn from every week, so you shouldn't substitute a parachurch, for a church and think that you don't have to go to a church because your working at a Christian camp or whatever.
A parachurch is a ministry made to follow a church but not necessarily serve the church all the time. The church is made by God and the parachurch is made by man. Parachurches are sociological understood and evaluated, and churches are Biblically understood and evaluated.

Assignment #3
Explain the pros and the cons of being a denominational camping organization?
I think the pros of a being a denominational camping organization at Hidden Acres allows us to use standard policies such as no drinking, or drugs, and help provide a safe family environment, that builds a strong Christian fellowship among everyone who comes to camp.
Some cons of being a denomination camping organization, is that a certain denomination may not agree with our denomination, and that may discourage them from wanting to come to our camp.
Another pro would be that also might help prevent certain groups of people, such as a cult from coming to camp. They may see that we are Christians, and they may not want to come to camp because of it.
Another con is that if we do allow a different denomination, we aren't exactly sure what they might do, for there specific beliefs or traditions, and they may cause some problems with the organization.

Assignment #2
How does understanding the worldview of other religions help you minister to other's needs, even if you never meet someone from the particular faiths?
I think that understanding the worldview of the other religions helps me understand what other people might be believe versus what i may believe. It also let you understand where they are coming from, and how or what you can do to help them, if it could be in a specific way or not.

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.
