Statement Of Faith - We believe that there is one true God and Jesus Christ is the Son of God, born of flesh by the virgin Mary, crucified on a Roman cross, raised from the dead three days later, and is now seated at the right hand of God.
- We believe that the Bible is the Inspired Word of God.
- We believe in the church and its mission.
- We believe that there be a final judgment in which the dead will be resurrected and judged according to their works. Everyone whose name is not found in the Book of Life, along with the devil and his angels will be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake of fire. Those whose names are written in the Book of Life will be resurrected and stand at the judgment seat of Christ to be rewarded for their good deeds.
- We believe that God does not want anyone to perish but that everyone comes to repentance and that God's authoritative Word details how we might be saved and grow in Him.
- We believe that the Holy Spirit is the master strategist directing us to be innovative in creating ministry openings and to focus resources at the enemy's weakest point.
- We believe biblical and mutually edifying relationships to be the foundation upon which effective ministry is built.
- We believe that the participation of local believers and grass root churches is crucial to the evangelization of their own people groups as they tell Bible stories.
- We believe that to remove the blindness of people's minds against the gospel, strategic-level spiritual warfare must accompany all evangelistic and church planting movement efforts.
- We believe in the unity of the Body of Christ, and are willing to cooperate with any mission agency, church, or body wherever possible to express that oneness.
- We believe that to fulfill the Great Commission all believers should play a significant role in seeing the Gospel proclaimed and the Kingdom established in and among the unreached people groups in all the nations. We are to reach out and equip others for ministry based on Mark 16:15-16 and Ephesians 4:11-16.
