About Salt Creek Ranch
A place for you
Nestled in the middle of ranch land in southern Oklahoma, Salt Creek Ranch is a Christian camp and retreat center designed to give your group the space, facilities, and peace they need to draw closer to the Lord.
Our Mission
Salt Creek Ranch exists to provide a place for individuals to know the Lord in a personal way, grow in the Lord through consistent disciplines to strengthen the relationship, and learn how to more effectively show the Lord to others. Salt Creek Ranch will work alongside churches, families and individuals to help fulfill the Great Commission as outlined in Matthew 28:18-20. Salt Creek Ranch will provide an affordable place for people of all ages to draw closer to the Lord.
"Ye are the salt of the earth..." — Matthew 5:13
Statement of Faith
Salt Creek Ranch is a Christian ministry grounded in the historic truths of the Christian faith. We hold to the following core beliefs:
God
We believe in one God, the Creator of all things, who is holy, omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent. He is infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — each fully God, yet one in essence. (Ephesians 4:4-6)
The Bible
We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the verbal and plenary inspired Word of God. We believe that the Holy Scriptures are the sole authority for faith and practice. (2 Timothy 3:15-16)
The Trinity
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God. He accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross, and our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
Salvation
We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, Whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins. (Ephesians 2:8-9, Acts 4:12)
The Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is a person who convicts the world of sin. He is the Supernatural Agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ, indwelling, and sealing them unto the day of redemption. (Ephesians 4:30)
The Church
We believe that the local church, which is the body and the espoused bride of Christ, is solely made up of born-again persons. We believe in the autonomy of the local church free of any external authority or control. (Colossians 1:18)
Eternal Security
We believe that all who have truly been born again are kept by God's power and are secure in their salvation. Those whom God has justified will be glorified, and nothing can separate them from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:38–39). Once saved, all of the redeemed are secure in Christ forever. (1 John 5:13)
Separation
We believe that all believers are called to live in a manner worthy of the Lord, separated from worldly sin and ungodliness. We are to be holy as He is holy, pursuing righteousness and avoiding that which dishonors God, while engaging the world with the love and truth of the gospel (Romans 12:1–2; 2 Corinthians 6:17).
The Second Coming of Christ
We believe in that blessed hope, the personal, imminent return of Christ Who will rapture His church prior to the seven-year tribulation period. At the end of the Tribulation, Christ will personally and visibly return with His saints, to establish His earthly Messianic Kingdom which was promised to the nation of Israel. (Revelation 3:11)
Satan
We believe that Satan is a real, personal being — a fallen angel who is the enemy of God and mankind. He is the deceiver and accuser of the brethren, who seeks to destroy the work of God. His ultimate defeat was secured at the cross of Christ, and he will be eternally punished in the Lake of Fire. (Isaiah 14:12–15; John 8:44; Revelation 20:10).
Civil Government
We believe that civil government is ordained by God and created by God for the benefit of society, to restrain evil and promote justice. There are three institutions: the home, the church, and the state. Christians are to pray for and honor governing authorities, obey the law of the land in all matters that do not conflict with the Word of God, and seek the welfare of the communities in which they live. Every person is subject to these authorities, but all are answerable to God and governed by His Word. (Romans 13:1–7; 1 Timothy 2:1–2; Acts 5:29)
Human Sexuality
We believe that God created human beings in His image as male and female, and that sexual intimacy is a gift from God designed exclusively for the covenant of marriage between one man and one woman. We believe that any sexual activity outside of this covenant is contrary to God's design. We are committed to treating all people with dignity and compassion while upholding the truth of Scripture on matters of sexuality and gender (Genesis 1:27; 2:24; Matthew 19:4–6; 1 Corinthians 6:18–20).
Creation
We believe that God created the heavens and the earth in six literal days, as recorded in Genesis 1–2. All of creation was made by God, for God, and reflects His glory and wisdom. Mankind, as the pinnacle of creation, was made in the image of God and given stewardship over the earth. We reject evolution, the Gap Theory, the Day-Age Theory, and Theistic Evolution as being unscriptural theories. (Genesis 1-2; Colossians 1:16; Psalm 19:1).
