OUR PURPOSE

Luther Crest has four major guiding principles in our ministry: our vision, philosophy, intention and mission.
Join us today as we engage together in the work of God on earth.
At Luther Crest, we believe that every person is created in the image of God and is worthy of love, respect, and dignity.

We are committed to creating a Christ-centered community where all campers, staff, and guests feel safe, seen, and supported. We honor the diverse identities, experiences, and voices that make up our camp family.

All individuals at Luther Crest have the right:

  • To be treated with kindness, fairness, and respect
  • To feel physically and emotionally safe
  • To express their identity without fear of discrimination or harassment
  • To be free from bullying, intimidation, or exclusion
  • To participate fully in the life and joy of camp

We celebrate and welcome people of all races, ethnicities, abilities, gender identities, sexual orientations, family structures, and faith backgrounds. In our words and actions, we strive to reflect God’s radical love and hospitality.
Together, we commit to building a community rooted in empathy, accountability, and mutual care — where every person is empowered to grow in faith, relationships, and confidence.
