Statement of Faith

Trinity In Unity

We believe that one true God exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that these, being one God, are equal in deity, power, and glory. We believe the Trinity is without division of nature, essence, or being (1 John 5:7; Matthew 3:16-17; 2 Corinthians 13:14).

The Preeminence Of Jesus Christ

We believe Jesus Christ is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him, all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him, all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. We believe this includes all companies in the public squares of business. (Colossians 1:15–18, NKJV)

The Exclusivity Of Jesus Christ

We believe that salvation from sin and Hell is found exclusively in trust, obedience, and love toward Jesus Christ. His sacrifice was the payment for the sins of mankind. He is the only way to God, Truth, and eternal life in Heaven. (John 14:6; Matthew 22:37)

The Identity Of Jesus Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ was God in the flesh. (John 1:1,14)

The Word Of Jesus Christ

We believe that the Bible is the Word of God. It is without error in truth and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the body of Christ may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. We believe this includes all companies in the public squares of business. (2 Timothy 3:16–17; Psalm 18:30)

The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ

Jesus resurrected in bodily form, confirming His message, identity, authority, and power. (John 20:24-29; Matthew 28:18)

The Fullness Of Jesus Christ

We believe in the fullness of Jesus Christ and the communion of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is Lord, Savior, Healer, Deliverer, and Baptizer. Everything that He did in bodily form, He still performs through God Holy Spirit. (Colossians 1:19;  2 Corinthians 13:14; John 14:12; Acts 10:38; Mark 1:8; Hebrews 13:8)

The Authenticity Of Jesus Christ

We believe Jesus Christ is the head of the body (church/ekklesia). Every member of His body is to habitually live as authentic disciples by His Holy Spirit's abiding presence. We believe this includes all Christian-owned companies in the public squares of business. (Luke 14:25-33; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 2 Corinthians 6:16; 1 John 2:24)

The Kingdom Of Jesus Christ

We believe the kingdom of heaven is the standard for which the Father wills manifested on earth. We believe this includes all companies in the public squares of business. (Matthew 6:10; Matthew 28:18; Jude 25)
