Our faith

Our mission and what we believe

We're part of a family of work rooted in faith, growing from South Seas Ministries. This is the mission our family shares, and what we believe.

Our mission: To bring the Word of God to life through faithful Bible stories and verse-by-verse teaching, and to share His love in practical ways with churches and families in need.

Statement of Faith

God's Word: The Bible is God speaking to us. Every word of the Old and New Testaments is inspired by Him and true in all it teaches, and it is the ground we stand on. Whenever questions arise, we return to the Word for our answers.
One God: There is one God, eternal and unchanging, who has made Himself known to us as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, three Persons who together are one God.
Jesus: Jesus is God the Son, who stepped into our world as a man. He was born of a virgin, lived a life without sin, and gave Himself on the cross to pay for our sins. On the third day He rose bodily from the grave, and today He is seated at the right hand of the Father, where He continues to pray for us.
Grace: No one can earn their way to God, whether by good works, by keeping the law, or by trying harder. Salvation is a gift, given freely by God's grace and received by trusting in Jesus alone. Everyone who comes to Him is forgiven, made new, and given life that never ends.
The Holy Spirit: The Spirit of God lives in everyone who belongs to Jesus, comforting us, guiding us, and giving us the strength to live for Him. His gifts are still at work in the church today, given in love to build one another up, and always used in good order.
The Church: The church is not a building but the family of everyone who trusts in Jesus. We come together to worship, to open the Word, to pray, to share the Lord's Supper, and to carry one another's burdens. We follow the Lord in baptism by immersion as a public picture of our new life in Him.
Living for Him: Following Jesus changes the way we live. We are called to love God with all that we are, to love the people around us, to keep growing in Him, and to share the good news wherever He leads us, in both word and deed.
His Return: Jesus is coming back. He will gather His church to Himself, and one day He will return in glory to reign. Until that day, we live with hope, keeping our eyes on the horizon and our hearts ready for Him.
Forever: One day all people will be raised, those who belong to Christ to live with Him forever, and those who have turned away from Him to everlasting separation from God.

We gladly serve everyone, of every faith or none.
