Guest groups desiring to use Twin Pines' facilities must subscribe to our chartered purpose and statement of faith as set forth below.

Twin Pines shall be established and maintained for the express purpose of providing a place for the education and enlightenment of people of all ages in a camp setting. The ongoing program of the camp shall provide ample opportunities for mental, physical, spiritual, and social growth so as to promote love of God, home, and country. Care should be given to maintaining the natural setting of the property in keeping with sound ecological practices, Twin Pines shall be a purely public charity with all proceeds, monies, properties (real and capital) and any and all assets designated to be used solely for the aforementioned purposes of the organization.

In all cases, guest groups shall agree to be respectful and mindful of basic Biblical standards and ethics which are in keeping with the tenets of the Evangelical Congregational Church, with whom Twin Pines is affiliated. The following is what we believe and is the basis for all teaching through the various programs and ministries of Twin Pines.

In the spirit of Luke 17:1-2, "Things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but woe to that person through whom they come. It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin." Our ministry does not condone the use of drugs, alcohol, or tobacco. We believe and teach that premarital sex are in violation of God's Word, and we abide by a biblical view of marriage, identity, and conduct. (1Corinthians 6:9-10). In everything we do, our purpose is to glorify Christ and to honor His Word.

Our Background is German Methodist (Pennsylvania Dutch).
