Why Camp David?
We believe that men have been created by God to fulfil a specific role. Camp David seeks to discover your heart and restore biblical masculinity.
He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children
Malachi 4:6
In South Africa, about 7 out of 10 children live without fathers. Camp David exists to address this crisis by restoring the hearts of men and raising up godly fathers.
What We Stand On
Our Core Beliefs
Family
Psalm 127:1
God created marriage between a man and a woman for multiplication and raising godly children. Families are the building blocks for society and the primary place where faith is passed on.
Community
Proverbs 27:17
Men need vital relationships and support and unity within God's family. Iron sharpens iron — community is essential for every man's journey.
Obedience
Matthew 28:18-19
Men are called to reach others. Obedience is God's love language. Through the Great Commandment and the Great Commission we love God and make disciples.
Integrity
Micah 6:8
Godly men live lives of character and integrity — with transparency, holiness, and a commitment to doing what is just, loving mercy, and walking humbly.
Strength
1 Corinthians 16:13
Men walk in the humility, strength and power that comes through the Holy Spirit — standing firm, acting courageously, and doing everything in love.
Why We Exist
Our Calling
God has called Camp David to restore Christian masculinity through three strategic pillars.
Serve the Church
We exist to serve and strengthen the local church, not replace it. Camp David equips men to be faithful, active members of their congregations.
Build Community
Men need authentic community to grow, heal, and thrive. We create spaces where iron sharpens iron through intentional relationships.
Transform Society
When men are restored, families flourish and communities are transformed. This is kingdom work with eternal impact.
The Journey
The Process
A four-stage discipleship journey, from surrender to sending.
Initiate
Surrender to Christ. Address repentance, forgiveness, and identity — discovering who you are as a son of the Father.
Demonstrate
Deepen your relationship with God through discipleship — growing in faith, obedience, and the power of the Holy Spirit.
Activate
Transition to independent leadership while mentoring others. Step into your calling to lead and disciple men.
Relocate
Release men to pursue their individual calling — walking in spiritual independence and reproducing what they have received.
