Cowboy's Rest Doctrinal Basis of Faith Agreement
Please Read

We believe in the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, as the only written self-revelation of God. 
We believe that the sixty-six books of Scripture are inspired by God and are therefore inerrant in the original manuscripts. 
We hold the Bible as having supreme and final authority in faith and life.
We believe in One God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary and is true God (100%) and true man (100%). 
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; and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and in the case of those who reach moral responsibility become sinners in thought, word, and deed. 
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice; and that all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood. 
We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension to heaven, and in His present life as High Priest and Advocate for us. 
We believe in "that blessed hope", the personal, premillennial and imminent return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 
We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God. 
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved and the everlasting, conscious punishment of the lost. 
We believe in the great commission which our Lord has given to His Church to evangelize the world, and that this evangelization is the great mission of the church. 
Holding the Scriptures as our final authority, Cowboy’s Rest believes in a biblical view of sexual purity prior to marriage, faithfulness within the context of marriage, and that marriage is defined as a union between one man and one woman

 Christian Lifestyle Within the Camp Community
Please Read

 Christian virtues that are expected to be exhibited by all members of the camp community include humility, honesty, a forgiving spirit, faith, hope and love. The Bible condemns such practices as greed, jealousy, pride, lust, bitterness, uncontrolled anger, prejudice, drunkenness, stealing, profanity, dishonesty, occult practices, illegal activities, sexual sins (including homosexual behavior) and cross-dressing. Camp community members are expected to abstain from such behaviors while exercising their freedoms responsibly within the framework of God’s Word. This implies good stewardship of mind, body, time, abilities and funds.

Additional Expectations for Staff Members 
Please Read

 The leadership of Cowboy’s Rest has chosen to adopt additional rules for both paid and volunteer staff members in order to foster the desired atmosphere at camp. These rules require staff members to abstain from gambling, illegal drugs, tobacco, alcoholic beverages and pornography while on camp grounds. Modest dress is mandatory for all staff members at all times. Staff members are also expected to exercise wisdom in their entertainment choices while residing at the camp. Therefore, none of the following will be allowed without prior permission from the Director of Camps: movies rated ‘R’, ‘NC-17’, or unrated; television shows or video games rated ‘MA’; or music labeled ‘Explicit’. Finally, bearing in mind the importance of the body of Christ to the Christian walk, all staff members are required to attend Sunday worship at a local church. (There are several Christian churches in the area from which to choose.) These rules embody foundational principles such as self-control, avoidance of harmful practices, and sensitivity to the heritage and practices of other Christians. While residing and working at Cowboy’s Rest Christian Camp and Retreat Center, all staff members are accountable for adhering to these rules.
