STATEMENT OF FAITH We believe the Bible to be the inspired written word of God, and as such, it is the final authority for all our faith and practice. We believe that there is one unified God who eternally exists as three equal persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We believe that all people have sinned and that the only means of being cleansed from sin is by repentance, faith in Jesus Christ who died and rose victoriously from the grave. We believe that salvation is offered to all people regardless of race or gender, and that at the rapture, Christ will return for this church. We believe in the work power and presence of the Holy Spirit in the life of every believer which enables us to live a holy and separated life. We believe that equality and dignity of men and women are God-given values because all people are made in the image of God. We believe in the unity of all people according to Galatians 3:28, and that in Christ, there is neither Jew nor Greek, bond nor free, male nor female, for we are all one in Christ Jesus.

While each our members and member organizations are free to establish their own statement of faith, statements that are in opposition to the basic core values of this organization are not permitted. Our Core Values are:
