​​Reelfoot Youth Camp and Retreat Center is a ministry that operates on a strongly held belief that the marriage relationship has been established by God as a union between one man and one woman. (Genesis 2:24; Ephesians 5:31). Reelfoot Youth Camp and Retreat Center further holds that, in accordance with Scripture, sexual intimacy and sexual activity is appropriate only within the marriage relationship, between one husband and one wife. (I Corinthians 7:2; Hebrews 13:4). Reelfoot Youth Camp and Retreat Center believes God has created two distinct and complementary genders, male and female, and each person is created in accordance with God’s perfect design. (Genesis 1:27; Matthew 19:4).
​
Accordingly, Reelfoot Youth Camp and Retreat Center views the following behaviors as inappropriate and contrary to Scripture.
​
-
​Any sexual intimacy or sexual act between individuals not married to one another.
-
Any marriage or civil union that is not between one man and one woman.
-
Any attempt to adopt or present as a different gender than that assigned at birth.
-
Any other activity, teaching, or behavior that is contrary to a biblical view of marriage, gender, and/or appropriate behavior as outlined in this provision.
​
All board members of Reelfoot Youth Camp and Retreat Center and all individuals involved in operations, activities, and/or events at or pertaining to Reelfoot Youth Camp and Retreat Center are expected to uphold the ministry’s perspective on marriage, gender, sexual intimacy, and appropriate behavior as set forth in this provision.
