Overview

Mission

Skyview Ranch supports life impact through Christ-centered camping and retreats (summer camp overview). We believe that the Holy Spirit is a Divine person, equal with God the Father, and God the Son; that He was active in creation; that He convicts of sin, righteousness and judgment; that He is the agent in the New Birth; that He baptizes all believers into the body of Christ at conversion; that He indwells, seals, endues, guides, teaches, witnesses, sanctifies, fills, and helps the believer. We believe that the Holy Spirit gives gifts to believers but that the sign gifts of the Holy Spirit are completed, not normative, and are not necessarily applicable to the work of the Holy Spirit in this age. Psalm 139:7-12; John 14:16-17; 16:13,14; Romans 8:9; I Corinthians 6:19; Ephesians 1:13-14; Titus.
