It is the
mission of Christikon
to awaken and nurture faith in
Christ —
exploring God’s creation
and the adventure of life together.
In carrying out Christikon’s mission, we seek to:
- Embody the gospel of
Jesus Christ.
Grounded in a Lutheran articulation of the gospel, we strive to share the
grace of God with all, hoping for it to shape everything we do.
- Grow as the Body of Christ. We
move towards a deeper experience and awareness of Christian community,
centered in worship, where all are sustained in the covenant of baptism
and drawn more deeply into the lives of each other.
- Form faithful Christians. We will
force no one into the faith. But we want people to recognize and grow from
the foundation offered in the gifts and insights of those who have gone
before us, so we might more clearly discern where God is calling us today in our lives
and in our life together in this world. We explore the biblical story
together, listening for God’s Word to us. We try to model Christian
character as we face this world’s hungers and hopes. We seek out fitting
shapes for faith’s witness in the world.
- Raise up stewards of creation. We
use our majestic mountain setting to encourage a greater appreciation of
the natural environment, to develop a deeper sense of gratitude and
responsibility for the whole creation of God.
- Grow leaders. We try to strengthen
the work and witness particularly of those who serve as our staff members,
offering training and experience for leadership on behalf of the church.
- Be a faithful partner in ministry with our
congregations. We try to maintain the connection between life
at camp and life back home. We offer our mountain facilities for
congregational retreats. We seek to implement programs appropriate to our
congregations’ changing needs in ministry.
