Christianity is central to the vision, mission, and values of Moose Lake Gospel Camp. (MLGC). Despite a rapidly changing socio-political environment, MLGC intends our behaviour and activities to be conducted in accordance with the Bible, our Statement of Faith, and our stated Vision, Mission, and Values.

MLGC upholds traditional Christian beliefs concerning gender, marriage, and sexuality.

As such, we believe:

• that God creates each person as male or female (Genesis 1:27);

• that marriage is an exclusive relationship between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24); and,

• that all intimate sexual activity should take place within the marriage relationship (1 Corinthians 7:2).

MLGC further upholds Jesus' commandment to love one another (Matthew 22:39) by recognizing the inherent dignity of all persons. For by doing so, MLGC will ensure MLGC is a safe and caring environment for Campers and Staff.
