This kind of ministry requires a single-hearted confession of the Christian truth. We maintain that this single-heartedness should rest upon the foundation of the Bible, the first four Ecumenical Councils, and historic Christian doctrine. Every one of our staff is actively involved in the life and ministry of his or her respective local Christian congregation. The Statement of Faith provided below is not meant to replace the universally accepted historic Creeds or any of the modern Confessions, but rather demonstrates what beliefs the authors of our publications unquestioningly subscribe to:
  1. The Holy Scriptures, composed of the Old and the New Testaments, are fully inspired by God, infallible and inerrant in the original manuscripts and deserve to be fully trusted as the ultimate authority in the issues of faith and ethics.
  2. There is but one Eternal, Omnipotent, and Perfect God, Creator of all things seen and unseen, eternally existing in three Divine Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
  3. Jesus Christ, begotten of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, is the true God and the true Man, the only Mediator between God and man. Of all men He alone was sinless in His human flesh and perfect in His teachings.
  4. The Holy Spirit regenerates and sanctifies the redeemed ones, imparts to the them spiritual gifts and abides with the Church as the Comforter and Teacher.
  5. In Adam all human race was created in the image and likeness of God. Following the fall of Adam man has become depraved, lost fellowship with God and became the object of Divine wrath and condemnation. Man needs his fellowship with God to be restored, but is utterly unable to achieve that by his own efforts.
  6. Eternal salvation is given to man solely by the grace of God through the vicarious death of Jesus Christ. Man receives salvation solely through faith in Jesus regardless of his own works. Nevertheless good works are a necessary outcome of salvation.
  7. Jesus Christ rose from the dead physically, ascended to the Heavens and will return in the end times to judge the living and the dead according to their deeds.
  8. The final destiny of unregenerate, together with Satan and his army, is eternal torment and separation from God (Hell), while the final destiny of the righteous is eternal life with God (Heavens).
