and educational. Designed to form an allied agencythrough which churches,societies
and individuals may spread the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ in the continental
United States by the promotion andsupport of all phases of church work
and missionary activity. We focus our ministry upon spiritually neglected
communities in the continental United States and conduct our work according
to the detailed policies adopted by the Board of Directors.
What We Believe
We believe in Divine Inspiration and Authority
of the Scriptures. By this is meant a miraculous guidance of the Holy Spirit
intheir original writing, extending to all parts of the scriptures equally,
applying even to the choice of words, so that the result isthe very Word
of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice. Moreover it is
our conviction that God has exercised such
singular care and providence through the
ages in preserving the written Word, that the scriptures as we now have
them are in every essential particular as originally given and contain
all things necessary to salvation. We believe the Scriptures are sufficient
and complete in all matters of faith and practice. We affirm that the Scriptures
in their entirety are inerrant, being free from all falsehood. Fraud, or
deceit. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons, Father,
Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten
by the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true
Man. We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned
and thereby incurred not only physical death but also that spiritual death
which is separation from God: and that all human beings are born with a
sinful nature, and, in the case of those who reach moral responsibility,
become sinners in thought, word and deed.. We believe that the Lord Jesus
Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative
and substitutionary sacrifice; and that all who believe in Him are justified
on the grounds of His shed blood. We believe in the resurrection
of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into heaven, and in
His present life there for us, as High Priest and Advocate. We believe
in "that Blessed hope," the personal, premillenial and imminent return
of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for His Church and then with His redeemed
to set up His Kingdom on the earth. We believe that all who receive by
faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby
become the children of God. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the
just and the unjust, the everlasting conscious blessedness of the saved,
and the everlasting, conscious punishment of the lost. We also believe
in the personality of Satan, the assurance of the saints, a life of separation
from the world, the two natures of the believer and the obligation of the
saved to witness for Christ to the ends of the earth. We believe that water
baptism and the Lord’s Supper are the only ordinances of the church and
that they are a Scriptural means of testimony for the church in this age.
