Jesus Camp
2006
Despite what the documentary suggests, the group featured in Jesus Camp does not represent mainstream evangelical Christianity.

Bible‑believing Christians should not treat this film as the definition of our faith or of Christian camps in general. Most evangelical churches and camps focus on clear teaching of Scripture, the gospel of grace in Christ, age‑appropriate discipleship, and normal spiritual growth—not the kind of excesses and manipulation shown in this documentary.
