Grass Roots Ministries Doctrinal Statement

SCRIPTURES: We believe all the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be verbally inspired by God, without error in the original text, and to be our only infallible guide for Christian faith and life.

THE GODHEAD: We believe the Godhead eternally exists in three Persons; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one God having the same nature, attributes, perfection, and are worthy of honor and obedience from mankind.

THE SAVIOR: We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is God's Word come to life. We hold to His virgin birth and sinless life. He is savior to the world through His death on the cross, being raised from the dead, making possible deliverance from sins penalty and reconciling to God all who believe in Him. He is coming again together all believers to reign with Him eternally.

THE HOLY SPIRIT: We believe the Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity who convicts the unsaved and affects the full salvation of the believer. He indwells the saved, empowers the church and is the source of their life in Christ.

CREATION: We believe that God has by a special act created the heavens and the earth. All life is given by God and sustained by God as creator.

MAN: We believe, through the fall of man in Adam, all men are totally depraved and stand in need of regeneration.

SALVATION FOR SINNERS: We believe salvation for all is provided through Jesus Christ by His substitutionary and sacrificial death on the cross. We receive God's salvation when we repent of our sin, accept Jesus as Savior and Lord, being reconciled to God through His victory over death in the power of His resurrection. All must be born again or be lost forever.

TWO DESTINIES: We believe the future destiny of the believer is eternal life (to be at home with the Lord) which is God's sovereign work of grace in the sinner when he believes and receives Christ. The unbeliever will be separated from the presence of God in everlasting punishment.

THE CHURCH: We believe the church is an organism of which Christ is the head, made up of individual believers who have been saved by personal faith in Christ, are baptized into Christ's body by the Holy Spirit and is responsible to share with the world the gospel.

OUR COMMISSION: We believe the great commission given by Jesus Christ to His disciples in the church is to make Christ known by word and example and bring to maturity those who believe by instruction in the Word of God.

PERSONAL PURITY: We believe the Bible to teach chastity in singleness and fidelity in marriage; which is defined as a monogamous, heterosexual relationship. We believe God's design for the gift of sexuality is to be enjoyed only in the covenant relationship between one man and one woman. We believe God has expressly forbidden sexual relations before or after this marriage covenant, and that God's order prohibits homosexual relationship.


In 1984, a group of people created a non-profit organization called Grass Roots Ministries, Inc., and purchased Camp Buckeye.  

  • We provide Christian summer camps for children.
  • We rent out our facilities for retreats, family reunions, church camps, and other special events.

  • We have trails for hiking, a sand volleyball court, a mini-golf course, large playing field, junior Olympic size swimming pool, and pond for fishing.
  • We offer Nature Discovery sessions for local students to do hands-on learning about the natural world.

Our Beliefs: We believe all the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be verbally inspired by God, without error in the original text, and to be our only infallible guide for Christian faith and life.
