Please be mindful if you decide to send your children to Port City's summer camp, Fuse held at a…read morecampground approximately 4.5 hours away. Their waiver, which differs from the campground's waiver, requires parents to waive negligence by the Church (i.e., staff and volunteers) that could lead to injury or death of the child. The campground's waiver, which mirrors standard waivers, only requires parents to waive injury suffered by the child (e.g., on their own), and excludes negligence. The campground's waiver, which appears drafted in good faith, is understandable and similar to many waivers parents have signed. Most reasonable parents will not seek a claim if a child gets injured or sick on their own, but negligence due to someone's actions is different. It is worth noting that negligence leading to death is so serious that there are criminal laws on this subject (e.g. manslaughter), so why a church would try to evade civil liability and/or accountability for such an event is beyond me. Further, Port City Community Church's waiver also requires parents to consent to the indefinite use of a child's picture *and name* on a perpetual and worldwide basis for any reason the Church deems necessary. The campground's waiver only requires consent for the picture, which is understandable as pictures may be shared on their social media platforms; that's not a big deal. However, the Church's broader waiver regarding the possible use of a child's name and picture indefinitely for any purpose the Church deems necessary poses safety risks if strangers worldwide can not only identify a child by picture, but would also know their name if the Church decided to publish it. Human trafficking is a real issue and I do not think making a parent agree to put their child's picture and name out to the world indefinitely, just for a child to attend overnight camp, is reasonable. Pictures, yes. Pictures and name? No. All of the terms of the Church's waiver must be agreed to for the child to attend. Again, unlike the campground's reasonable waiver which is similar to standard waivers, the Church's waiver is very broad and the church seemingly acknowledges this as it states in the church's waiver that parents are waiving substantial legal claims.

One, held on the west side of the island, is held by Shallotte Presbyterian Church. It needs to be mentioned that this is a PCUSA. And is it ever! My family has attended this one for years, as the messages were relatively predicable, being Bible centered in nature. In the post covid years, there was a significant shift away from the gospel to social issues. The pro LGBTQ+, pro women's lib, social gospel, pro tolerance of all things messaging was on full display. We finally had enough. This year we attended the Ocean Isle Beach Chapel beach service held close to the pier. There was no wasted time. The speaker was introduced and proceeded to preach for almost 45 minutes. He was a passionate and competent speaker who preached Jesus as our greatest need, and even closed with an alter call. It was apparent that he was a conservative on social issues. I was thankful for the alternative.
