RULES AND REGULATIONS

The Alton Bay Campmeeting Association is a year-round Christian Retreat Center, which exists to promote the cause of Christ through the proclamation, study, and application of God’s Word. As a specialized ministry, the Association seeks to fulfill this purpose in a relaxed atmosphere that provides opportunity for fellowship, reflection, prayer, rest, recreation and participation in a wide variety of activities geared to spiritual life and growth. (Article II, Bylaws).

These objectives shall be the rule for life and conduct for all who are on the grounds, whether cottage owners, renters, or visitors.

COMMUNITY COVENANT

We are a community of Christians who live according to holy obligations which we believe are true to the character of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are called to humility, purity, justice and truth because Jesus modeled these for us. Along with the privileges and blessings of membership in such a community come responsibilities. The members of the Alton Bay Campmeeting Association take these responsibilities seriously. We “freely and joyfully choose to live in the light of His holiness and hold each other accountable.”

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. (2 Timothy 3:16).

The biblical foundation of Christian community is expressed in Jesus’ two great commandments: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind,” and, “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Matt. 22:37-40).

Jesus himself perfectly demonstrated the pattern: love for God, acted out in love for others, in obedience to God’s Word. Acknowledging our dependence on the power and grace of God, the members of the Alton Bay Campmeeting Association humbly covenant to endeavor to live according to this ideal.

The purposes of this community covenant are as follows:
- To cultivate an atmosphere that encourages spiritual, moral and intellectual growth.
- To integrate our lives around Christian principles and devotion to Christ.
- To remove whatever may hinder us from our calling as a Christ-centered community.
- To encourage one another to see that living for Christ involves dependence on God’s Spirit and obedience to His Word, rather than a passive acceptance of prevailing practices.
We believe that biblical standards will show themselves in a distinctly Christian way of life. This lifestyle involves practicing those attitudes and actions the Bible portrays as virtues, and avoiding those the Bible portrays as sinful. Refusal to conduct oneself in harmony with the objectives and the rules of the Association as herein set forth shall constitute cause for termination of the privilege to occupy the grounds.
