Philosophy & objectives

CAMP PHILOSOPHY

Pine Lake Christian Camp (PLCC) is a year-round camp and retreat center, which seeks to glorify God by providing an environment of enrichment, and by ministering to the needs of individuals, churches, and organizations in an outdoor setting.  Our goal is to help all who come onto the camp grounds to know Christ in a deeper way than when they first arrived. Our focus of ministry is twofold:

  • To serve the Iowa Baptist Conference Churches and Pastors, and to serve other Christian churches and para-church organizations in a manner that will foster spiritual growth.

  • To serve non-Christian individuals, sharing openly with love, the message of Christ and its relevance to their lives.

CAMP OBJECTIVES

  • To Operate as an Arm of the Church—To assist the local churches in fulfillment of the great commission, by providing an evangelistic and nurturing setting.

  • To Represent Jesus Christ to the World—To ensure that everyone who comes into contact with PLCC will hear the message that Christ loves them and offers them the gift of eternal life

  • To Minister to the Needs of People and to Serve Them as Effectively as Possible—To minister to the needs of the whole person—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

  • To Provide a Learning Center--To provide opportunity for individuals to gain knowledge and develop skills that will equip them to be more effective servants of Jesus Christ.

  • To Glorify God in Everything We Do
