MISSION
Christian Outdoor Fellowship is an
outreach ministry which presents the Gospel of Jesus Christ to men,
women, and children through recreational and lifestyle evangelism and
a common interest in hunting and fishing.
VISION
The vision of Christian Outdoor
Fellowship is to enhance evangelism, discipleship, and fellowship
using the outdoors as a platform.
MANDATE
Christian Sportsmen accept the
obligation to preserve our natural resources, to protect and
perpetuate every living species so that future generations may enjoy
the hunting and fishing privileges that we possess today.
GOALS
-
Reach outdoor sportsmen with the life changing message of the
gospel of Jesus Christ.
-
Provide a format for Christian Sportsmen to share their personal testimonies
in a variety of outdoor settings.
-
Establish a wholesome setting for men, women and children to enjoy
fellowship in the great outdoors. We prohibit the use of alcohol and profanity
at events and discourage the use of tobacco products. We strongly emphasize
the role of each man as the spiritual leader of his household and make
every effort to encourage participation in the local church.
-
Assist the local church in reaching outdoor sportsmen with a non-traditional
outreach program to their community.
-
Encourage greater unity among believers across social, economic, and
denominational backgrounds.
-
Assist local benevolence
ministries with outreach support and financial assistance.
CODE OF CONDUCT
The Christian Outdoor Fellowship code of conduct reflects
our organization's goals for discipleship. In addition to evangelism,
we encourage COF members to live according to the principles found in
God's Word. Specifically, we encourage men, as the spiritual head of the
home, to maintain the basic priorities listed below.
-
God (I am the LORD your God. You shall have
no other gods before me. Exodus 20:1,3)
-
Wife (Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and
gave himself up for her. Ephesians 5:25)
-
Children (Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old
he will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6)
-
Local Church (And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward
love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are
in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another, and all the more
as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:24-25)
-
Vocation (If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially
for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an
unbeliever.
I Timothy 5:8)
A High Calling and Great Challenge: But seek first his
kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you
as well. Matthew 6:33
