Doctrinal Statement
- We believe the bible is the infallible, inerrant, inspired word of God.
- We believe in the deity, virgin birth, vicarious death and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ.
- We believe God is one being existing in three persons, which is called the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Three in one, yet one in three.
- We believe there is no salvation apart from the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
- We believe that salvation is “by grace” plus nothing and minus nothing. Christ became sin for us that we might be justified by faith in His shed blood, and accounted righteous before God.
- We believe once a believer knows Christ, he is eternally kept by God’s power.
- We believe in the pre-tribulation rapture of the church and a pre-millennial return of Christ and his saints to the earth.
- We believe Matthew 28:16-20 is the commission to Christian Adventurers is to preach the Gospel to everyone regardless of their age, race, sex, background or social status.
