Mission, Values,
& Statement of Faith

Csehy Summer School of Music exists to honor, praise, and serve our Lord Jesus Christ by providing a Christian context and a spiritual emphasis for the study of superior classical and sacred music for junior and senior high school students.

Spiritual Life: We provide biblically sound, Gospel-centered instruction and guidance for spiritual formation and discipleship.

Student Music: We nurture the talents of a wide range of student musicians in order to teach and equip campers to achieve musical excellence and to use their talents in God's service within the church and society.

Personnel: We seek and employ highly qualified and fully engaged faculty and staff who are willing to disciple campers and encourage musical growth.

Camp Community: We commit to a camp setting - campers, staff, faculty, and their families - which is safe and fun and is immersed in living as a Christian community.

Finances: We undertake the maintenance of a financially secure organization through fiscal accountability and healthy development strategies so that tuition is affordable and compensation is appropriate.

Alumni: We cherish the continued connection of previous generations of campers, staff, and faculty with CSSM, including their prayers, donations, and continued service to the Csehy community.

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by Whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
