OUR BELIEFS
Why We Do What We Do
Statement of Faith
We believe that there is one true, holy God, eternally existing in three persons-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit-each of Whom possesses equally all the attributes of deity and the characteristics of personality. In the beginning God created out of nothing the world and all things therein, thus manifesting the glory of His power, wisdom, and goodness. By His sovereign power He continues to sustain His creation. By His providence He is operating throughout history to fulfill His redemptive purposes.
We believe that Jesus Christ came as God's own Son to show us life and life more abundantly. We believe that Jesus died on the cross to pay the price for all of our sins in order that we could have a relationship with God. We also believe that Jesus rose again bodily on the third day after He was crucified so that in Him, each believer can have His new life within. We have found God to be the answer to the hunger of our hearts and the answer to every question we face in our lives. Further, we believe that the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
We believe that in the Bible God defined marriage as the union of one man and one woman, together for life until death do them part. We believe that in the sacred marital relationship between a husband and wife, we find a beautiful earthly picture of Christ's self sacrificing, covenant-keeping, faithful love for His Bride, the Church.
We believe that each life is a gift from God and therefore is valuable. Because of this, we treat all individuals with respect and kindness, regardless of their personal beliefs.
Organizational Distinctives
All Tribes is dedicated to making Christ real in all people's lives by serving the churches and families of our area, strengthening Christian discipleship, encouraging genuine holiness, building faith, and effecting changed lives by turning our affections toward God and fostering a genuine love for Him and for others.
We do this by providing real time away to be with God while experiencing His wonderful creation during a variety of camps and outdoor experiences.
We want to help people know Christ more intimately, grow in understanding and compassion, and equip and lead them to share their faith with others, through outdoor experiences, environmental conservation, biblical training, and servant leadership.
