Our Core Values

What makes the JP Experience unique is our passion for and adherence to our eight core values.  We emphasize the importance of establishing relationships and forming community among our students, adults, staff and the clients that we serve.  We believe that spiritual growth and connection happen at a deep, personal level when students experience program and worship in a small group setting.  We believe our staff should know each student by name by the end of the week, and thus we maintain a smaller camp size each week.


We are passionate about sharing the truth that God has a plan for students’ lives and wants to use them right here, right now, to advance the Kingdom. Their worth is found in God and His plan for their lives.  We value and provide opportunities for students and staff to develop in leadership; to use their unique gifts as servant leaders to further the ministry of the Jeremiah Project and the Kingdom of God.  Our staff are trained to empower, engage and know your students. 


At JP, we believe in innovation and we will always push the envelope with new ideas and methods that will serve to strengthen the ministry and impact the Kingdom in greater ways.  We believe that God desires excellence from us and that nothing but our best is good enough.  Integrity and intentionality are vital in everything that we do.  We also create space to laugh and have fun together. We understand that we serve a God of love and hope and that laughter and relationships are vital to creating a safe space for students to grow in faith.



Ultimately, at the heart of all we do it is our belief that Jesus is everyone’s need.  We enthusiastically share the Good News of Jesus Christ with our students and those that we serve.  We model and encourage students to establish healthy spiritual practices and to find or deepen their faith in God.

Welcome

The Jeremiah Project welcomes all persons who desire to participate in our mission to transform lives for Christ through student mission, ministry, & leadership development, and who are in agreement with the Jeremiah Project’s Statement of Belief. 

Statement of Belief:

What we believe:


About God:

We believe in one personal God who exists eternally in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, equal in power, authority and glory.


About Jesus:

We believe Jesus Christ, born of the virgin Mary, to be the Son of God who lived in flesh, was both fully human and fully God, died for the sins of the world, was buried, rose again bodily, and ascended to the Father.


About the Holy Spirit:

We believe in the Holy Spirit who lives in every believer in Jesus, assures us of our salvation, guides us into all truth, glorifies Jesus and convicts of sin.  He comforts us, gives us spiritual gifts, and empowers us for service.


About the Bible:

We believe that the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God and that humans were moved by the Spirit of God to write the very words of Scripture.


About Humankind:

We believe that all people were created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him but became alienated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, people are incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through their own efforts.


About Salvation:

We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the only way for the forgiveness of sin. God freely offers salvation to those who place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin. Salvation cannot be earned; it is a gift from God.
