Statement of Faith
- We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are inspired by God and inerrant in the original writings, and that they are of 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 Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary and is true God and true Man.
- We believe that man was created in the image of God, and that he sinned and thereby incurred, not only physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God; and those who reach moral responsibility become sinners in thought, word, and deed.
- We believe in the personality of Satan.
- We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures, as a representative substitutionary sacrifice; and that all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood.
- We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His bodily ascension into Heaven, and in His present life there for us as High Priest and Advocate.
- We believe in the personal, immanent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
- We believe that all who accept by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit and so become children of God.
- We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life and bear fruit, which will remain.
- We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the just and the unjust – the just to everlasting bliss and the unjust to everlasting punishment
Our Position on the Church
A) Universal
It consists of all those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through his blood, and are born again of the Holy Spirit. Christ is the Head of the Body, the Church, which has been commissioned by Him to go into all the world as a witness, preaching the Gospel to all nations.
B) Local
The local church is a body of believers in Christ who are joined together for worship of God, for the edification through the Word of God, for prayer, fellowship, the proclamation of the Gospel and observances of the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper
Policy to Maintain Harmony Within the Fellowship of Steeprock Bay Bible Camp
Because Steeprock Bay Bible Camp (SBBC) is an interdenominational fellowship and because unity must prevail within our organization, if the objectives of SBBC are to be realized, it is therefore understood that all SBBC personnel (including all Board Members and staff) must agree to the statement of faith.
Within the Body of Christ are varying other doctrinal beliefs that are not valid to salvation, but may be important in the understanding of local church fellowships. It is understood that all SBBC personnel will respect other believers’ persuasions and will not use SBBC as a platform to campaign for nor crusade against doctrinal issues outside the SBBC stated doctrine. We therefore welcome the fellowship of all believers who agree to maintain this relationship of unity.
Our primary objective is the salvation of the lost. We encourage converts to seek fellowship of a Christian Church for additional discipling and teaching.
