About Us

History

Miracle Bible Camp started in 1969, is part of the non-profit organization Northern Gospel Fellowship. As a non-denominational ministry we welcome campers from all religious backgrounds. Our summer camps are at the heart of our existence offering fun-filled faith adventures for young people 7 – 18 years of age. We are funded by visionary individuals, committed churches and user fees. We are privileged to offer this facility as a tool to the local church ministries on a year around basis. Contact us for more information regarding your particular needs.

Statement of Faith

We believe in . . .

  • The verbal inspiration of the original texts of the Bible, both Old and New Testaments.
  • The personality of the God of Creation, Government, Redemption and Judgment.
  • The substance of One God in Three Equal Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
  • The Essential Deity and the true humanity of the Lord Jesus Christ.
  • The inherent depravity of humanity, through the disobedience of Adam, and sinfulness of all men by choice.
  • Complete satisfaction made for sins of mankind by the Substitutionary Death of Jesus Christ on the cross.
  • The necessity and possibility of repentance and faith in Christ as atoning Savior, these graces
    wrought alone by the Holy Spirit with human consent.
  • The Bodily resurrection of Christ and all men.
  • Justification from all sin through faith alone in Christ.
  • The personality of the Holy Spirit.
  • The eternal salvation of the saved.
  • The unending conscious punishment of the unsaved.
  • The personality of Satan, the Devil.
  • The imminent pre-millennial return of Christ to judge the world and establish divine rule
