Thank you for your interest in Santa Barbara Christian Camp and Conference Center!

Santa Barbara is a 155-acre site located in the beautiful Los Padres National Forest at an elevation of 2200 feet. Although Santa Barbara is surrounded by great natural beauty and great recreational opportunities, our primary goal is to see our campers come to know, in a real and personal way, the saving grace of Jesus Christ. It is our passion to see lives changed!

We are always looking for quality people who want to serve Christ and see lives changed as much as we do. Everything we do at Santa Barbara – washing dishes, cleaning cabins, counseling students - seeks to point our campers toward the message of God’s love. We also seek to facilitate your spiritual growth through regular staff worship and sharing. When you join the Ministry Team at Santa Barbara you join a family of believers that seek to continually be more like Jesus.

We want to share your victories, defeats, joys, and tears and to help you grow in your walk with the Lord!

Thank you for your interest in Santa Barbara! We will be praying for you as you seek God’s leading.

The Statement Of Faith outlines the beliefs of TM Camping. All beliefs are listed and founded in God s Word, the Bible.

Preamble

TM Camping, in accordance with the historic Baptist tradition, hold to Believers Baptism by Immersion, Liberty of Conscience, the Separation of Church and state, and the Priesthood of the Believer. We also affirm the following distinctive which need emphasis at the present time:

I. THE AUTHORITY OF SCRIPTURE

The Bible is the inspired, authoritative and infallible Word of God and is our sole rule of faith and practice. It is the standard by which all human conduct and creeds should be tried.

II. THE TRINITY

There is only one true and living God who is manifested in three eternal and coequal person;
Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God possesses holiness, omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, love, mercy, and all other perfections. All humankind owed to Him supreme faith and obedience.

III. HUMANKIND

Humankind has been created in the image of God but through Adam’s fall is now sinful, lost and condemned. By deliberate choice all participate in sin which is open rebellion to God’s law. Notwithstanding the fall, all human life through creation has value and dignity.

IV. JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH

Human beings can be forgiven of sin and justified solely through the redeeming work of Jesus Christ who died for sinners and rose again from the dead. Only by repentance from sin and faith in Jesus Christ the Lord can acceptance with God be attained.

V. REGENERATION

Regeneration is the work of the Holy Spirit by which the believer receives a new nature from God. Christian growth or sanctification is the continuation of the new life principle which begins in the new birth.

VI. THE CHURCH

The church in its widest sense includes all believers of all ages. The church is manifested visibly in the local body of baptized believers who covenant together to worship, observe the ordinances, and evangelize.

VII. HUMAN DESTINY

Jesus Christ will eventually return visibly at which time He will raise the dead and judge all people.…
