Statements of Belief

Staff and their Relationship with God

Staff are to be known for their love of God, his Church and fellow man, holding a servant attitude of putting others first. They are expected to reflect the moral standards of the Word of God, conduct themselves with integrity and wisdom as well as, daily spend time with God in prayer and study.

All staff must affirm the following Statements of Belief:

About our faith :
The plenary inspiration of the Old and New Testaments as the very Word of God.

The triune God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, His substitutionary atonement for sin, His bodily resurrection and
His personal, visible return to earth to reign in righteousness and glory.

The Person of the Holy Spirit and His work of conviction, regeneration and sanctification, who indwells every believer.

The necessity of the new birth in salvation by faith in Jesus Christ alone, and the importance of a life fully committed to the will of God in Christ.

About our world:
Equality
We believe in equal value of all persons regardless of gender, race, nationality, age, religion, sexual orientation, social or economic status, incarceration, those with special needs or the unborn. We believe that all should be treated with respect and honour.

Sexuality
We believe that God created male and female to live in complimentary relationship and that the practice of any sexual activity is to be reserved for the exclusive, life-long marriage between a man and a woman.

Earth
We believe that we honour God by caring for the world he created. We are to be faithful stewards by using and not abusing the earth's resources.

Authority
We believe that government and other authorities have been established by God and mankind is responsible to comply with the laws of the land.

Medeba's Values

1. HONOUR GOD

Pleasing God in all that is done.

Luke 10:27a "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind"

2. DEVELOP PEOPLE

Seeking to grow in all areas of life and encouraging others to do the same.

Luke 10:27b "Love your neighbour as yourself"

3. PURSUE EXCELLENCE

Striving to do our best.

1Cor 9:24 "Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win."

Volunteer and Parent Staff

Volunteers are an essential part of Medeba. During Summer Camp we offer two options; our Parent Staff program and Volunteer program. We value volunteers and their willingness and desire to serve. Our Summer Camp program staffs volunteers based directly on our staffing needs.

Parent Staff
For parents or grandparents who volunteer at Medeba during the summer, we will provide a credit towards your child's residential program fee. Each week of Parent Staffing will apply a credit to your child's summer camp fees. Please contact our Personnel Director for full details and explanation.

Due to lack of staff accommodation and child care resources, all children accompanying parent staff must be enrolled in the residential camp program. We are able to accommodate parent staff on alternate weeks of their child attending.

Volunteers

For those individuals 17 years old and with past association with Medeba. A one week commitment is required. Flexibility and willingness to work where required as dictated by dynamic need.
