How did Camp Oakhurst Start?
Camp
Oakhurst came into existence in the early nineteen eighties
with a donation of 172 acres by the Barcus family. At that
time it was owned and managed by the Central California
Church of God Association. Since January of 1999, the camp
is an independent organization run by a non-denominational
Board of Directors. Our camp strives to provide a Christian
atmosphere and service to groups wishing to pursue spiritual
growth in a beautiful mountain setting.

STATEMENT OF FAITH
-
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only
infallible, authoritative Word of God.
-
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent
in three persons:
-
We believe in the deity of Christ, in his virgin birth,
in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious
and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily
resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the
Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
-
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit,
by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live
a godly life.
-
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and
the lost, they that are saved unto the resurrection of
life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of
damnation.
-
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in
our Lord Jesus Christ.
