Kinasao: Who we are
Kinasao Lutheran Bible Camp (Kinasao) is a Lutheran Outdoor Ministry located at Christopher Lake, Saskatchewan, 50 kms north of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. It began as a dream in 1937 and to-day hundreds of individuals gather at Kinasao to experience the marvelous scenery, to learn more about Christ and to meet friends both old and new. Kinasao is a place set apart in God’s creation, inviting all to experience God’s love. As a Lutheran Ministry, Kinasao proclaims the gospel of Christ by providing the opportunity to discover, share, strengthen and renew the Christian Faith in a natural setting.

Kinasao: Our beliefs
Kinasao confesses faith in the Triune God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit as the one true God. We proclaim the Father as Creator and Preserver, His Son Jesus Christ as Redeemer and Lord and the Holy Spirit as Regenerator and Sanctifier.

Kinasao confesses that the Gospel is the revelation of God’s saving will and grace in Jesus Christ, which He imparts through Word and Sacrament. Through these means of grace, the Holy Spirit cre-ates believers and unites them with their Lord and with one another in fellowship of the Holy Christian Church.

Kinasao confesses the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the inspired Word of God, through which God still speaks and as the only source of the Church’s doctrine and authoritative standards for the faith and life of the Church.

Kinasao subscribes to the documents of the Book of Concord of 1580 as witness to the way in which the Holy Scriptures have been correctly understood and explained and confessed for the sake of the Gospel, namely;
The Apostles’, the Nicene and the Athanasian Creeds as the chief confessions of the Chris-tian Faith;
The Unaltered Augsburg confession as its basic formulation of Christian doctrine;
Luther’s Small Catechism as a clear summary of Christian doctrine;
The Apology of the Augsburg Confession, Luther’s Large Catechism, the Smalcald Articles with the Treatise and the Formula of Concord as further witnesses to the Unaltered Augsburg Confession.

Kinasao – Our Core Values
- In Christ – A Christ centered, Lutheran ministry where grace, mercy and forgiveness abound.
- In Community – An inclusive, intergenerational community investing in people and positive relationships.
- In Creation – Outdoor ministry valuing education, sustainability and environmental steward-ship.
- With Celebration – a place to experience joy, fun and fellowship as well as peace and restora-tion.
- With Care – operating with integrity, accountability, consistency, responsibility and respect.

A place set apart...
