KITCHEN EXPERIENCE:

Why do you want to manage the dish room at Camp Blue Haven?

Part of the job description is to provide extra coverage in the kitchen daily after your duties in the dish room are complete. Please realize that the cook's job at camp is a very physically demanding job. The cooks work hard behind the scenes and don't get much public recognition. While the rest of the camp is "having fun" you will be "slaving away" in a hot kitchen! We will encourage you to attend all camp activities that you can after you attend to your duties in the kitchen.  Knowing all this please list any physical traits that might hamper your ability to work in these conditions:

Have you ever been arrested or convicted of a crime?  _______  Yes  _______  No
If yes, please explain: 

What are your career goals? 

What are your personal goals for growth in the Lord’s work?  

What do you perceive to be the greatest needs in the church today? 

NOTE:  For the following questions, we are not looking for a right or wrong answer, but a Biblical basis for your belief. 

On a separate sheet of paper, please number your responses accordingly using Scripture to support your beliefs.

In working with young people, many controversial subjects arise.  It is important that you as a Christian individual and as one in an influential position have such matters resolved in your own life. You should be ready to give an answer to anyone who may challenge your standards, your life principles, or the hope that is in you (I Peter 3:15).  

1. How does your life reflect the Lordship of Christ?  
2. What is your view of scripture? What is your approach to studying God’s Word? 
3. Provide the Biblical view of salvation.
4. Explain your view of salvation in Christ. Include your concept of grace, faith, and works and
    their relationship to one another.
5. Elaborate on your views of leadership in the church. Address the roles of women and men in the Body               of Christ. 
6. What are your thoughts on women taking a leading part in a devotional or public worship service where men are present? 
7. How would you define worship?  How would you talk to those who have a differing view of the meaning of worship and the mechanics of worship? Please include your thoughts on the use of  instruments in worship.
8. Define holiness. What activities in life would you consider unholy?  Why?  Elaborate on how holiness relates to what we do in the body. Address how would you talk to campers about the following topics:
   Drug addiction 
   Sexuality - sexual impurity, fornication, and homosexuality
   Pornography
   Recreational activities such as dancing, rock concerts, movies, etc. 
9. Do you abstain from the use of alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drugs?  What would you teach        concerning the use of these substances?  
10. What is your view of God's design for the family? 
11. What would you teach about dating practices, marriage, and family?  				
12. How would you lead a discussion on issues involving human life such as abortion or war?	
13. What is sin?  How does the Bible define sin?
14. What could this camp do in order to impact campers with Jesus in a more profound way?
15. What skills will you bring to camp in order to accomplish this?
