Our Mission Statement:

To help all who come to SEEK answers, KNOW the truth and GROW in Jesus Christ, by developing and hosting programs in partnership with area churches, families and communities.

Statement of Faith (Sincerely-held Beliefs)

​We believe...
         ...That there is one God in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  John 14:26 [Jesus said], “The Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name . . .” 
...That Jesus Christ is the Son of God and our Lord and Savior. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
...That Jesus is God’s only provision for the redemption of sinful man.   John 14:6 “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through Me’.”
...That the Holy Scriptures are the inspired, infallible and authoritative Word of God.
I Timothy 3:16“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness”
...That the Holy Spirit dwells within us and enables us to live a godly life. Galatians 5:22,25  “. . . The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. . . let us keep in step with the Spirit.”

History:

Camp One Way was founded in 1972 by Alice Eversole and Glenna Apsley with the intent of providing a summer camp for the youth at their local church.  The name was chosen based on John 14:6 “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through Me’.”   Though the years, the camp has undergone many changes and additions.  Many lives have been touched as a result of the dedication and sacrifices made by Alice and Glenna.  For the full story, be sure to pick up or request a copy of the book "Stories God Writes".
