Purpose, Beliefs, and Dress Standards
Our purpose:
The Central Washington Holiness Association was established to spread Scriptural Holiness through camp meetings, conventions, missions, publishing interests, and such other means as would secure the conversion of sinners, the entire sanctification of believers, and the edifying of the body of Christ.
Our beliefs:
We believe the Bible to be God’s written Word to mankind; that it was uniquely inspired by the Holy Spirit and bears true and unerring witness to Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God.
We believe in the triune God - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, as revealed in the divinely inspired Word of God - the Holy Bible.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, and in His vicarious death through the shedding of His atoning blood for the remission of the sins of mankind.
We believe in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father and in His personal return to earth in power and glory.
We believe in the salvation of the human soul, which includes the new birth providing forgiveness of one’s past sins; and in a second work whereby the heart is cleansed from all sin and is filled with the Holy Spirit. Both of these works of grace are wrought through faith alone, and are not necessarily followed by any outward manifestation.
We believe in Scriptural Holiness - in that the sanctified believer can live above habitual sin, and through the enabling of the Holy Spirit can live a victorious life through obedience to God‘s will as it is revealed to him in the Holy Scriptures.
We believe that all Christians are commissioned to, “Go therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit,” (Matt. 28:19) and to this end we will endeavor to train, support, and encourage individuals who come to our camp to go forth as pastors, teachers and missionaries.
In regards to dress while at camp:
CWHA is an interdenominational family camp. Clothing needs to be modest and conservative so as not to offend.
