The Wilderness Fellowship Policy on Christian Morals and Lifestyle
The Board of Directors has adopted a Biblically-based Christian morals and lifestyle policy consistent with the mission of The Wilderness Fellowship Ministries: "To provide a place of refuge, peace, restoration and hope, dedicated to help people establish intimacy with God and those they love."
This policy serves to direct camp administration and staff to seize the opportunity to be a positive Christian witness and to contribute to the spiritual well being of others at The Wilderness Fellowship. The Board, seeking the good of others (I Corinthians 10:24), wants to help assure every guest that he or she can have a camping or retreat experience of great joy in the Lord, free from reproach, offense, or injury that may result from the presence of false teaching or lifestyles inimical of the Gospel.
The Wilderness Fellowship Ministries promotes holy living according to the Gospel of Christ. Any conduct that is immoral or godless is opposed to this purpose (I Timothy 1:4,4:7, II Tim. 4:4), including witchcraft, occult activity (I Samuel 15:23; Galatians 5:20), drunkenness (I Corinthians 6:9,10; Romans 13:13), and sexual immorality (Galatians 5:19-20; I Corinthians 6:9, Romans 1). Such behavior will not be tolerated on the premises by individuals or groups. No one will be hired or retained who promotes or practices such immorality or godlessness.
The definition of marriage by which we stand is the Biblical definition of one man and one woman joined in the God ordained covenant of marriage for life. (Jer 29:6, Gen 2:21-24, Matt 19:5.) No other man made definition or practice of marriage is Biblically based. No other definition will be recognized or accepted by this ministry and board. The word of God clearly instructs us by Jesus example (John 8:11) to love the sinner while hating the sin. Therefore we will endeavor, in word and deed, to do as Jesus did (John 3:16), and be a vessel of His love and truth to all mankind. In accordance with our policy on Christian Morals and lifestyle, we will work to promote holy living according to the Gospel of Christ.
Our commitment to holy living is shown by the following standards, adopted to address immoral and godless behavior that may, from time to time, require intervention:
- Persons who identify themselves as an unmarried couple, heterosexual or homosexual, or are not married based on the ministry's Biblically based position, will not be given accommodations as a couple. The administration will address any of the situations mentioned above, according to the biblical mandate of holy living.
- Accommodations provided any self-identified homosexual person will be conditioned upon their agreement to refrain from sexual behavior with anyone and not to promote the homosexual lifestyle, directly or indirectly, while on the premises.
- No occult paraphernalia, Satanic or occultic activity, alcohol, illegal drugs or paraphernalia will be tolerated on the premises.
