About Us
Welcome to LaMoine!
LaMoine Christian Service Camp exists to create a Christian camping environment that challenges youth and adults to love and serve Jesus Christ.
Since 1957, LaMoine Christian Service Camp has been changing lives on its grounds. Each summer, there are week-long programs for youth in 5th grade through high school. We also have shorter programs for kids as young as 1st grade.
Youth are challenged and encouraged by constant encounters with Christ. From personal time with God to Bible-based teaching, along with reflective campfire and prayer - each session is filled with the truth of God’s word. LCSC always strives to include and accept every individual, that they might leave us having had a fun, rewarding, and enriching experience. Compared to other ways of spending a summer, camp is a wise investment of both time and money.
LaMoine Christians Service Camp is nestled about two miles off of Hwy. 136., about 15 miles West of Macomb, IL and 8 miles East of Carthage, IL. The camp sits on 39 acres and features cabins, a retreat center, and other buildings that can be utilized year-round along with several recreational opportunities including disc golf, swimming pool, rock climbing wall, team-building course, a pond and much more! Since 1957, LaMoine Christian Service Camp has offered summer camp programs that provide opportunities to make lasting friends, enjoy opportunities for fun , but most importantly grow and mature personally and spiritually. The camp also offers opportunities for retreats, reunions, meetings, and other gatherings.

Statement of Belief
One God existing in three co-equal persons (Matthew. 28:19-20, 1 Peter 1:2)
God the Father is the Creator (Genesis 1:1, John 1:1-2) and Sustainer of all things (Colossians 1:17), working to redeem all of creation (Romans 8:19-22).
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, God in flesh (John 1:14). He lived a sinless life, offering Himself as a sacrifice for all sins on the cross. He rose from the dead after three days to conquer sin and death, by which all must be saved (1 Peter 1:17-20). He ascended to the right hand of the Father and will return again (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, Revelation 20:11-13).
Holy Spirit sent to reveal all truth, indwells & empower believers. The Holy Spirit convicts people of sin, reveals righteousness & declares judgment (John 16:5-11).
Salvation (Ephesians 1:13–14, Romans 1:16)
Each person was made intentionally by God, male or female, in His image without mistake for the purpose of serving Him (Genesis 1:27, Psalm 139:13-14, Ephesians 2:10)
While created in the image of God, all have sinned (Romans 3:23) resulting in death and separation from God (Romans 6:23).
Salvation comes through Christ alone (Romans 5:8) through a conversion process that includes faith, repentance, confession & baptism by immersion. (Acts 2:38, 8:12, 10:47-48, Romans 5:1, 8:1, 10:9,13).
The Bible
All of Scripture is the inspired, infallible and inerrant Word of God (2 Timothy 3:14-17).
The Bible is the source of authority & truth for all believers and our guide for faith and practice (2 Peter 1:16-21, Hebrews 4:12–13).
