The GospelThe GOOD NEWS and living it out. We value the Gospel as a treasure to be shared! The Truth that Jesus is who He said He is and that He has made a Way to have a full life. A life that is changed by knowing and belonging to Him. We desire to want to make the gospel clear from salvation to sanctification to glorification. (Acts 13:32, Luke 8:1, Luke 4:18)

God's WordWe value the authority and truth of God’s word and its usefulness through God’s Spirit to teach and train, to rebuke and correct, and to equip men and women to live godly lives. (2 Timothy 3:16)

Servant LeadershipWe value servant leadership that reflects the character of Christ. We value serving others in a way utilizes and strengthens each person’s God given gifts and abilities. We want to be and equip servant leaders who will influence the world for Christ. (Mark 10:45)

WorshipWe value a lifestyle of worship. We desire to promote grateful praise, transformed living, obedient service, and responsible stewardship in both actions and attitudes. (Romans 12:1-2)
|
AwaynessWe value the power of stepping out of our busy routines to take a deep breath and be refreshed in our relationship with God. Camp is a place where we turn off the T.V. and the phone; clear the calendar and block out the distractions and noise of everyday life. In this intentionally simple setting, we can more easily refocus on the One who truly matters. (Mark 1:35)
|
Christian CommunityWe value a Christian Community that embraces one another with the love of Christ – a safe community that offers love, respect, forgiveness, accountability, and hope. We treat each individual as one who is loved and valued by God. (Romans 12:9-21)

OUR STORY
Otyokwah Camp and Retreat Center began in June 1947 under the foresight and leadership of the Churches of God, General Conference. Its purpose has been to provide the setting and facility for fellowship, nurture, and ministry to people of all ages. Over the years at Otyokwah Camp and Retreat Center, many people have come to know Christ, been baptized, made friends, had enjoyable times, and made many memories.
With a program based on biblical principles, many campers have been led to a relationship with God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. Summer camping ministry has consistently been an instrument to reach young lives with the importance of personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
