Proposed Amendments to
Bylaws &  Articles of Association

The Trustees of Rock Lake Christian Assembly Association (RLCAA) have proposed changes to the Articles of Association and Bylaws. These proposed changes will come before our supporting churches to be voted upon at our Annual Meeting, Saturday, October 19th at 10am on the campus of Rock Lake Christian Assembly. 

​​

The reasoning behind the proposed amendments is laid out here:

1. The camper base of RLCA is growing rapidly. While sending a student to Rock Lake has a cost to families of roughly $300/weeklong session, the true cost of attending a summer camp session exceeds this significantly (nearly $500/session) and this cost is offset by supporting churches and individuals who subsidize the cost of attending camp through their generosity to the ministry at RLCA. That puts subsidization of enrollment costs at just over $125,000 annually. These resources are currently being provided by the 35 supporting Restoration churches that give regularly to the ministry at RLCA. However, as student enrollment grows, so the amount of necessary subsidization grows and that burden rests upon the shoulders of our generous ministry partners. 

​

2. As the camper base grows annually, the volunteer base needs to grow by a corresponding amount. Our ministry standard of maintaining a minimum of a 1/4 ratio of faculty/students allows for discipleship to happen here at Rock Lake. However, as our student body increases, our supporting churches are struggling to provide the necessary volume of volunteers to meet our ministry expectations. By allowing like-minded churches to share in the ministry, not only are they able to help subsidize the cost of their summer camp students, but they are also able to help provide volunteers to meet the growing ministry need. There is still an expectation that they would sign and agree to a statement of belief in their application to serve as summer camp faculty.
