Core Values
It is our values that guide and direct our decision making at Pine Lake. Therefore, as a Christian camping organization, we look to what we value as a road map of how to do ministry because our values were shaped from Biblical principles. Out of our love for Jesus we passionately desire, as observed through decades of faithful ministry, to accomplish our mission by living out these values day in and day out.
Based on the BibleScripture drives all aspects of our work. Our relationships with guests, staff members and constituents, our stewardship of resources, our philosophy of programming and our business operations are all grounded on biblical principles. Foundation of FaithWe provide opportunities for children and youth to build a foundation of faith in Jesus Christ. Adults and families also benefit from year-round programming designed to help them to grow spiritually and relationally. Fun is MandatoryFun is the hallmark of the Pine Lake experience. Fun surrounds and supports the adventures and relationships that provide the setting where serious spiritual challenge can take place. Safety FirstWe create an environment where campers are physically and emotionally safe as they undertake adventures, attempt challenges, make new friendships and explore spiritual questions. |
Making the Most of What We HaveCareful stewardship of resources is integral to all decisions as it enables us to reach the maximum number of people in the most effective way. We seek to utilize the gifts and talents of all those who come alongside to participate in this mission. High StandardsOur standards are high.
