GOD...
Sovereign, Creator, Personal, Self-existent, Tri-unity, Holy, Good, Infinite, Unchanging, All-Knowing, All- Powerful, Everywhere-Present
(Genesis 1:1 /1:26; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19-20; John 4:24 /10:30; 2 Corinthians 13:14)

JESUS CHRIST...
God incarnate, born of a virgin, our Substitute, bodily Resurrected, sole Mediator between us and God, Returning again
(John 1:1-14; Romans 3:23-25; Acts 2:24-27; 1 Timothy 2:5; Titus 2:13)

HOLY SPIRIT...
the third person of the Godhead who Regenerates, Indwells, and Seals all believers at the time of conversion, and Fills and gives Spiritual Gifts to all believers who are yielded to God
(Matthew 28:19; John 2:3-7; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 2;12/ 6:19/ 12:7-13; Ephesians 4:30)

The BIBLE...
Inspired of God, Inerrant and Infallible, the Final Standard of faith and practice for the believer
(Matthew 5:18; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21)

HUMANKIND...
Created in the Image of God, sinful in Adam and is now a Sinner by Nature and Choice; maintains the Essence of God's Image even in that fallenness; Grows and Develops and will face Judgment one day
(Genesis 1:26-27 /3:16; Romans 3:10-18 / 5:12-14; James 3:9; Luke 2:52)

SALVATION...
by Grace alone  through Faith alone in Jesus Christ alone; apart from Merit, Works, Ceremonies, or Traditions
(Acts 4:12/ 16:31, Ephesians 2:8-10; 1 Peter 1:3-5; 1 John 5:11-13; Romans 8:35-39)

MARRIAGE is…
a Covenant relationship before God;  between a Man by birth and a Woman by birth; God’s design for sexual intimacy.
(Gen. 2:18-25, I Cor. 6:18; 7:2-5, Heb. 13:4)

FINAL AUTHORITY FOR MATTERS OF BELIEF AND CONDUCT
This statement of faith does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs. The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God, is the sole and final source of all that we believe and practice. Our Board of Directors and Executive Director have the final interpretive authority on the Bible’s meaning and application for Take Heart Ministry.
