     The ? is to, Explain the pros and cons of being a denominational church organization. the first and most easiest to see is the differences in definition or need for allowing only those that agree to follow your statement of faith. the down sides to this is a smaller number of groups that will be able to use the camp so less income. denieing someone for there love of alcohol seem cruel and unloving. I mean where is the ministry there. The ministry is in the body of Christ, toxins are finding there way into the body all the time, but we are able to take care of them given time. If to much is added at once the body becomes weak or even my fall. Our job is to promote the church and not fall. Camp is a pairachurch which was described to me as an extension of the church. and since we are a church that is a camp and not a church building more people are interested in visiting us which helps plant seeds. We may get less income for having a defined audience, but our audience knows are rules and they live them, giving us a greater ability for order, them to have fun, and them to grow. when there is order in a home the kids are trusted and can go off and play. the leaders that book the camp have the same goals which allow us to set the environment for the church for who ever they bring. Making us a ministry, one that may be in place, but strong. But being denominational scares off people to. In EVERYTHING there are pros and cons, with God the pros always outweigh the cons. We may be denominational, we may scare people away, we my say no to those that only want to have a wedding, we may not make in money what we get in understanding God's will a little better, But I sleep really good at night because we our doing what is best for the churches we serve, the ministry we express, and ourselves.
