The South Seaville Camp Meeting Association (SSCMA) is rooted in the Wesleyan/Holiness heritage and is presently a community of Christian believers from a variety of denominations and fellowships. The SSCMA is committed to growing in faith together, freely sharing the Good News of Salvation through Jesus Christ, and bearing fruit for the Kingdom of God through evangelistic outreach and witness to area churches and the surrounding communities.  Our camp welcomes and is open to all who seek a closer relationship with God.

Our faith is grounded in the authority of the Bible, which is the full and sufficient rule both of faith and of practice.  The Bible informs all that we believe and determines how we live.  In common with all orthodox believers, we embrace the core Christian doctrines expressed in the affirmation of faith commonly known as the Apostles’ Creed:

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth; 

And in Jesus Christ, his only Son our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, 

born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried;

The third day he rose from the dead;He ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.  Amen.

We also embrace these major tenets of our faith: 

God — Gen. 1:1; Dt. 6:4; Dt. 32:4-6; Jn. 17:11

We believe in the one God, Creator and Sustainer of all things, infinite in love, perfect in judgments and unchanging in mercy. God exists eternally in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ — Jn. 1:14,18; I Jn. 1:1-3; Mt. 28:1-10

We believe that Jesus Christ is God’s Son incarnate, born of the Virgin Mary. He died for the sins of all, taking on Himself, on behalf of sinful persons, God’s judgment upon sin. In His body he rose from the grave and ascended to the right hand of the Father where He intercedes for us.

Holy Spirit — Jn. 16; I Pet. 4:10,11; Rom. 8:4-6

We believe that the Holy Spirit is God present and active in the world. The Holy Spirit was given to the church in His fullness at Pentecost. By the Spirit, Christ lives in His church, the gospel is proclaimed and the power, purity and presence of God is manifested in the world.

Scripture — Heb. 1:1,2; 2 Pet. 3:15,16; 2 Tim. 3:16

We believe in the divine inspiration, truthfulness and authority of both the Old and New Testaments, the only written Word of God, without error in all it affirms. The Scriptures are the only infallible rule of faith and practice. The Holy Spirit preserves God’s Word in the church today and by it speaks God’s truth to peoples of every age.
