Purpose and Philosophy

The Seneca Hills Bible Conference is an inter-denominational, Christian ministry conducting camps and conferences for all ages, especially youth! Our primary objective is to encourage and enable youth and adults to place their trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. For those who have already trusted Christ, we help equip them to live in a way that reveals the growing influence that Christ has in their hearts. Our core programs emphasize evangelism and discipleship. Opportunities generated during camps and conferences are used to impart spiritual truths through a variety of teaching methods. Seneca Hills offers three distinct ministries to accomplish these goals:

1. Summer youth camp -- Our primary focus is nine weeks of summer camping for youth and teens. We provide a centralized Christian camping program. Each summer, we recruit, train, and disciple a high school and college age staff. Their ministry to each other and to the campers is augmented by the services of a number of adults who spend one week as Guest Leadership Staff. They serve as Chapel Leader, Missionary-in-Residence, Bible Study Teachers, or Nurse.

2. Conferences for adults and families throughout the year

3. A facility for Christian churches to conduct retreats  (Click to view a map of the camp) From September through May, our year round facilities are available to churches for retreat rental. Our facility allows us to host groups from 10 to 180 people.

Our Doctrinal Statement

  • We believe in the divine inspiration of the whole Bible.
  • We believe in one God in three persons.
  • We believe in the fall of humanity, the reality of sin, and the necessity of the new birth.
  • We believe that the only way of salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ, the virgin born son of God, through His substitutionary death and bodily resurrection.
  • We believe that the Church is the body of Christ, Himself as the Head and all true believers in Him as members, and that the body of Christ is God's instrument in the world today.
