Camp Chinquapin is a place where the congregation can retreat to meet with God, to worship Him and to hear from Him. The secondary purpose of Chinquapin is to provide camping for churches and affiliations outside of First Baptist Church. This is to be scheduled around the events of First Baptist Church as stated above. The responsibility of the workers at Chinquapin
is to not only facilitate the running of the camp, but to create
an atmosphere where people can meet with God while at the camp.
Attitude goes a long way toward showing people we are servants ready
to meet every need, eliminate distractions and thus create an atmosphere
where people can meet with God.
