Vision and Philosophy

What is HGBBC all about?

Goal – challenge hearts to change for God’s glory

We want God to use this ministry to change hearts and thereby change lives for His glory. How are we going to accomplish this goal? God is the only one that can change a heart but he can use this ministry as a tool for challenging each camper from the Word of God about their need of change. What is man’s need of change? He needs to be regenerated (changed from dead to alive) and transformed (changed from thinking like man to thinking like God). Where does all this change take place? In the heart!

Specifically – Primary Goal

                The tool of change  – “Use the tool of camping…”

                                The “what” of the goal

The tool is the camp setting (these facilities as well as God’s creation), atmosphere (separated and controlled) and program.

                The co-laborer of change  – “… to assist the ABA Churches…”

                                The Church - HGBBC is a TOOL of the ABA churches

When hearts are changed for God’s glory the ABA churches are strengthened.

                The goal of change  – “… in evangelization and edification…”

                                Salvation - evangelization

                                Sanctification – changing to become like Christ, edification “to build up”

                The cause of change  – “… by presenting the truth of God’s Word…”

                                The “how” of the goal

The only source of truth – God’s Word

                The participants of change  – “… to individuals and families…”

                                The “who” of the goal

The individual – age, gender or interest specific camps

                                The family unit – college/career, couples and family camps

                                                                Father/son/daughter, Fathers, Mothers, Home School etc.

                The target of change  – “… so that hearts…”

                                The “where” of the goal

When hearts are changed then lives will be changed

                The purpose of change  – “… may be changed for God’s glory”

                                The “why” of the goal

For God’s glory – changed to be like Christ

Specifically – Secondary Goal

                The tool of change – “Use the God given facilities and program of HGBBC…”

                                Facilities – camp rentals

                                Program – HGBBC’s program promoted in other churches

                The co-laborer of change – “… to assist other churches of like faith and practice…”

                                                The Church - HGBBC is a TOOL of the churches

                                                Churches of like faith and practice

                                                                In agreement with our statement of Faith

                                                                In agreement with our standards of practice

                                                                                Music, Dress, Speech and Deportment in worship

                The cause of change – “… by helping them present the truth of God’s Word…”

The only source of truth – God’s Word must be the focus even in rental camps
