Our Mission
Equipping Christian disciples in the U.S. and abroad to be faithful servant leaders in their homes, churches, careers, businesses and communities.
We believe:
• That the Bible is the verbally inspired Word of God and without mistakes as originally written. It is the complete revelation of His will for salvation and the only unfailing rule of faith and practice for the Christian life.
• In one God, Creator of all things, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• In the deity of Jesus; His virgin birth ; His sinless life; His atoning death on a cross; His bodily resurrection; His ascension to the Father; and His imminent return.
• Man was created by and for God; that by man's disobeying God, every person incurred spiritual death, which is separation from God, and physical death as a consequence; and that all people are sinners by nature apart from salvation through Jesus.
• Jesus died for our sins and that all who believe in Him are declared righteous and receive a new nature as a saint because of His sacrificial death.
• In the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in all believers, who also are in Christ. We believe in the bodily resurrection of all, the everlasting blessedness of those who have trusted Jesus, and the everlasting punishment of those who have rejected God's forgiveness in His Son.
We reject:
• Spiritual reliance on any text other than the Holy Scriptures.
• Any attempt to justify sinful behavior through Scripture.
• Claiming grace as a "free pass" to sin without consequence.
• The spirit of witchcraft that falsely compels people to give money or perform actions, deeds or rituals to achieve desired results from spirits or God. This vain attempt at manipulation of our sovereign LORD also is known as the "prosperity Gospel" or as "name it and claim it."
• False teachers who draw attention to themselves more than the LORD and enrich themselves through their ministries.
• Teaching that focuses on achieving fame, popularity, happiness (vs. joy) or riches.
• Teaching self-fulfillment through any means other than Jesus.
• False use of spiritual gifts such as tongues, healings or prophecy.
• Conforming Christian faith to culture (syncretism).
In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage — with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry. (1 Timothy 4:1-5)
