Application Process: We must receive your full application, references and complete a background check required by the New York State Health Department before we can officially accept you on staff. It is important that your references come from people who know you personally. Once we have your application, references and social security number we will notify you as to whether or not you have been accepted on staff, and, if you are accepted, the nature of your service at Delta Lake. If you have not heard from us in a reasonable time, there is a very good chance that your application is incomplete. It is your responsibility to see that your application is completed in a timely manner. If accepted, two copies of your contract will be enclosed. You will need to sign and return one copy; the other is for your records. If you decide at this point you will not be available to work for us, please mark that on the contract and return it to us. We will also mail you additional forms (medical, etc.) that will need to be filled out and brought with you when you come to Orientation (June 20-26, 2008). If you have any questions about the status of your application, or problems with the application or application process, please feel free to contact the log cabin office by phone or e-mail: rickb@deltalake.org


Statement of Purpose

Delta Lake Bible Conference Center exists for the purpose of presenting programs which foster Christian spiritual birth and growth in individuals and families, both younger and older. These programs encompass the areas of worship, instruction, service, and fellowship, all flavored by the distinctives of the Christian and Missionary Alliance.

Here at Delta we want everyone to "...attain to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ." Eph 4:13 This we endeavor to accomplish through the medium of retreats, conferences, and camping experiences.

The CM&A is committed to world missions, stressing the fullness of Christ in personal experience, building the Church, and preaching the Gospel to the ends of the earth.

As an integral part of the Northeastern District of the Christian and Missionary Alliance we stand on the same Statement of Faith as follows:

Statement of Faith

  • There is one God, who is infinitely perfect, existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  • Jesus Christ is true God and true man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice, and all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood. He arose from the dead according to the Scriptures. He is now at the right hand of the Majesty on High, as our great High Priest.
  • The Holy Spirit is a divine person, sent to indwell guide, teach, empower the believer, and convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment.
  • The Old and New Testaments, inerrant as originally given, were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men. They constitute the divine and only rule of Christian faith and conduct.
  • Man was originally created in the image and likeness of God; he fell through disobedience, incurring thereby both physical and spiritual death. All men are born with a sinful nature, are separated from the life of God, and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ.
  • It is the will of God that each believer should be filled with the Holy Spirit and be sanctified wholly, being separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to the will of God, thereby receiving power for holy living and effective service. This is both a crisis and a progressive experience wrought in the life of the believer subsequent to conversion.
  • Provision is made in the redemptive work of Christ for the healing of the mortal body. Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil are taught in the Scriptures and are privileges for the church in this present age.
  • The Church consists of all those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Head of the Body which has been commissioned by Him to go into all the world as a witness, preaching the gospel to all nations.
  • There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust: for the former, a resurrection unto life; for the latter, a resurrection unto judgment.
  • The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent and will be personal, visible, and premillennial. This is the believer's blessed hope and is a vital truth which is an incentive to holy living and faithful service.
By typing my name I indicate my agreement with the Statement of Purpose and the Statement of Faith. The information given above is true and correct. I authorize Delta Lake to contact all former employers and to further inquire as to any information given by me on this application.
Typed Signature:

We are an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate in employment because of race, creed, color, national origin, age, sex, physical or mental handicap.
