About LFBC

Living Fountain Bible Camp (LFBC) exists to provide Biblical, Christ centred discipleship for children and adults from all walks of life, believing that every aspect of daily living provides opportunities for learning and growth in Christ. Every activity in camp relates to achieving these aims for each camper. Program activities and staff positions are not divided between spiritual and non-spiritual. Every staff member is a counsellor and teacher. Every activity can and should be an opportunity for teaching and modelling Christian truth. We are struck by the way Jesus and His disciples went hiking together, went boating and fishing together, ate together, worked and relaxed together. Life begets life. As the life of Christ was reproduced in the life of His disciples, staff members' lives will be reproduced in the life of campers. Staff are a model at all times while at camp to campers and other staff members. They must ensure that what is modelled draws others to Christ and influences them for good. “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” (Colossians 3:17)

The purpose of Living Fountain Bible Camp shall be to pursue an energetic and spiritual Bible Camp program that will offer:

1. God's plan of salvation for all people in a clear and understandable manner by means of:
   ●      personal counselling and guidance
   ●      Bible exploration
   ●      sound, emphatic and challenging messages but without coercion
   
   
2. A healthy recreational program that will provide campers an opportunity to live out their faith as they interact with one another, as they experience God’s revelation through creation, as godly counsellors and staff model their faith in action, and as those staff use teachable moments to share spiritual truths. The intent is that campers will learn that every aspect of their lives is to be lived out as a testimony of faith in Christ.

Core Values

There are certain core beliefs that have remained central to our camp's identity and its very being as an institution. They are the standard by which we measure all that we do, and they bear witness to what we hold as dear. At LFBC, we value the following:

1. The Bible: It is the authoritative Word of God given to us for guidance, instruction in daily living, salvation, and knowing God.
   
   
2. The Preeminence of Christ: Our camp program is Christ centred - focusing on His life and teachings. Believing that life begets life, modelling what Christ would do, providing humble, servant leadership and proclaiming His teachings are fundamental in all we do. Sacrificial love, holiness and integrity should characterise our board and staff members. Prayer and worship must be a priority at camp as they were with Christ. Worshipping God can and should be expressed through every activity at camp. Ministry must be done in the power and under the leadership of the Holy Spirit who Christ sent to indwell us. We must seek to be, “imitators of Christ” (Ephesians 5:1).
   
   
3. The Great Commission is central to the mission of the church: We seek to accomplish this at camp through evangelism, personal counselling, Bible teaching, and clear gospel messages without coercion. We also strive to help campers and staff to grow in their walks with Christ as well as training, developing and equipping young people in Christian leadership.
   
   
4. Christian camping as a highly effective ministry in helping to fulfil the great commission: A twenty-four hour a day, Christ centred environment which is free from many of the distractions of life is our goal. Camp closely follows Jesus’ style of discipleship and includes formal and informal instruction, modelling and teachable moments that are available as we live together in community.
   
   
5. Peace on earth. As the angels announced, Jesus came to bring peace on earth. Camp ministry is a redemptive agent of peace as we strive to bring individuals to peace with God (Romans 5:1) and peace with one another (Mark 9:50), restoring relationships that have been broken or marred by sin.
   
   
6. God’s Gifts and Resources: We recognize that God is the giver of all that we have that is good. Creation is one of the vehicles through which God has revealed Himself and for which He has made us stewards. Creation directs people to their creator and so the utmost care must be taken to preserve it. Besides the natural environment, and wildlife, stewardship includes the buildings, programs, equipment, financial and human resources He has provided. Each should be cared for with respect. These resources are to be used to direct people to God.
   
   
7. People as the crowning achievement of God’s creation: Every human being is important and is a unique individual created by God in His image. Each one is a disciple or a potential disciple of Christ and was created in God’s image. Therefore, campers, visitors and staff should all be treated with love and respect. People should be esteemed as more important than programs or things.
   
   
8. The Church: The church is the Bride of Christ and is the primary organism through which God does His work on earth. Therefore, Living Fountain Bible Camp must fulfil its mission in harmony with the supporting churches.
   
   
9. The Family and Marriage: Believing that marriage and the family are God’s design for companionship, care, procreation, nurturing children and building healthy stable societies and churches, our programs, policies and procedures will seek to uphold, support and develop healthy marriages (one man and one woman) and families as instituted and defined by God. (Gen 1:27; Gen 2:23-24; Mark 10:1-12, 1 Cor 7:3-7, 1 Tim 3:2)

Statement of Faith

1. We believe the Holy Scriptures, both the Old and the New Testament, to be verbally inspired of God, infallible, and the supreme and final authority in faith and life.
   
   
2. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
   
   
3. We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is true God and man.
   
   
4. We believe that man was created in the image of God, sinned and thereby incurred physical and spiritual death, which is separation from God. All human beings are born with a sinful nature and need redemption.
   
   
5. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice for our sins, and all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood.
   
   
6. We believe that He was bodily resurrected and ascended into heaven and at the present acts for us as a High Priest and Advocate.
   
   
7. We believe in the personal and literal return of Jesus Christ to judge the living and the dead and to reward every man according to his works.
   
   
8. We believe that all who in faith receive the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.
   
   
9. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust.
   
   
10. We believe in the eternal duration of the blessedness of the righteous and of the eternal duration of the punishment of the wicked.
    
    
11. We believe that Christians are to live a holy life before God and all people.

Code of Ethics

1. I will respect the authority of the organisation’s leadership staff, demonstrating a willingness to serve and be directed by others. I will respect the authority of parents in the lives of their children.
   
   
2. I will always avoid situations with campers and staff which could in any way be misconstrued as inappropriate. This means that I will build my strongest relationships with campers and staff of the same gender, avoid counselling situations with campers of the opposite gender, and will never ‘date’ or ‘go out’ with a camper. I understand that any verbal or physical sexual behaviour with any camper or staff is not appropriate. I will refrain from sexual relations of any kind outside of the marriage relationship which is only between one man and one woman as described in the Holy Bible. I understand that any and every sexual activity that contradicts the marriage relationship between one man and one woman as described in the Holy Bible will be grounds for dismissal.
   
   
3. I understand that the laws of this country are to be honoured, understanding that the government is placed in authority over me by God and appreciating that breaking the law can jeopardise the safety of myself and others as well as damage the reputation of this ministry in its community.
   
   
4. As a LFBC staff member, consider your individual as well as camp's testimony and reputation. Total abstinence from alcohol, cigarettes, vapes, and marijuana while at camp is expected. All prescription and non-prescription drugs will be turned in to and administered by the camp nurse/first aid attendant. Do not use, possess or traffic illegal drugs at any time.
   
   
5. All media that is played and/or displayed on camp property in group settings such as, but not limited to: videos, magazines, movies and music must receive approval of a Director.
   
   
6. LFBC is committed to providing and maintaining a positive environment free of sexual and general harassment and abuse.
   
   
7. As a staff member, I agree to conduct myself at all times during my stay at camp in accordance with the Bible to the best of my ability with Christian conviction, and abide by the standards set forth by LFBC. Any breach of this code as interpreted by camp leadership may be grounds for dismissal.

Presentation

Your appearance makes a statement. You must remember that you are representing Jesus Christ and LFBC. Whether you are counselling in a cabin or on support staff, you are a model for campers. Therefore, we expect moderation in appearance with the absence of extremes (e.g. clothing that might be provocative to the opposite sex). Tattoos and body piercings (other than earrings) should be subtle, avoiding anything extreme or offensive. Any tattoos that are deemed inappropriate must be kept covered. Moderation and discretion are expected in the number and size of body piercings and earrings for male and female staff. The final decision as to what are moderate, discrete and appropriate rests with the Board of Directors and/or Camp Director. If you are uncertain, check with the Board of Directors or Camp Director.

Bring clothing that is comfortable, modest, and practical. Most of your time is spent outdoors. Prepare for hot, wet or cool conditions.

Male Staff - Underwear should not show to the best of your ability. Speedos are not to be worn by staff. If campers wear them, they should be urged to wear something else. T-shirts are to be worn to and from the beach. Swimwear is to be worn only during swimming time or when instructed to do so. Male staff should not go bareback except down by the beach during swim time. Shorts should be reasonable in length, and shirts should fully cover the torso to the best of your ability with your arms raised.

Female Staff – Underwear, including bra straps, should not show to the best of your ability. One piece bathing suits or tankinis are encouraged. Bikinis, two-piece bathing suits or bathing suits with revealing cut-outs are not to be worn by staff. If campers wear them, they should be urged to wear something else. T-shirts are to be worn to and from the beach. Swimwear is to be worn only during swimming time or when instructed to do so. Shorts, skirts and dresses should be reasonable in length, and shirts should fully cover the torso to the best of your ability with your arms raised.

To help us carry out our mission well, the following is in effect while at camp:

• Clothing with symbols, images, words that may be offensive or viewed as dishonourable may not be worn
• Clothing that is torn inappropriately may not be worn
• Yoga pants, leggings or excessively tight clothing may not be worn
• Shorts or skirts must be a minimum of 4" inseam and outseam
• Halter-tops, spaghetti strap tops, and crop tops may not be worn
• Bikinis/mens speedos or otherwise skimpy swimwear may not be worn. If that’s all you own, please bring appropriate tops/bottoms to wear over top (ie. tank tops, board shorts, etc)
• Swimwear is only to be worn during swim time and water activities.
• Undergarments, cleavage, buttocks and midriff may not be exposed.
• Men shall wear shirts while on the grounds (no white undershirts).
• Footwear must be worn at all times. Swim time, water games and some sports are the exceptions.
• Tattoos, body art, piercings; staff serving on site may be asked by leadership to either remove or appropriately cover up as deemed necessary. It is a vital consideration for our ministry to all youth/staff/volunteers/parents/caregivers, as representatives of the LFBC staff team.

This can be seen as our "uniform" for while you're at work and the leadership of LFBC will come alongside and help bring clarity as needed.   Neatness, professionalism and respect towards campers, staff and Christ Jesus are key factors when considering what to wear as LFBC Staff Team Members as we regularly have campers and parents watching and taking cues from us.

When the Bible and culture have opposing messages (ex: the definition of truth; how we are saved from sin; identity; gender; sexuality, etc.), are you committed to:

• Upholding the truth of God's Word,
• Seeking to follow the way of Jesus to honour God in your own life, and
• Seeking to follow the way of Jesus to respond with both grace and truth when relating to people who have different beliefs?
