Statement of Faith

We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

We believe in the complete humanity and deity of Jesus Christ; His virgin birth; His sinless life; His miracles; His vicarious and atoning death on the cross for our redemption; His bodily resurrection; His ascension to the right hand of the Father; and, His sending the Holy Spirit to indwell His Church at Pentecost. We await His bodily return to this earth in power and glory to judge the living and the dead; and to reign with Him forever.

We believe that God is faithful to save us from our sinful nature through faith in Jesus Christ’s atoning death and resurrection. We believe that God faithfully justifies all who believe in Jesus’ atonement and resurrection — that it is by faith alone that we are saved. We believe that everyone who proclaims with their lips and believes in their hearts that Jesus is their Lord is indwelt, marked and sealed by God’s Holy Spirit. We believe God is faithful to totally forgive us from our sin when we are sorry, repent and ask Him in Jesus’ Name.

We believe that Holy Scripture, the Old and New Testaments, the Bible, is the only inspired, infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God.

We believe in the sanctifying power and present ministry of the Holy Spirit who performs the miracle of new birth and indwells believers — that the Spirit empowers us not only to live a holy life but gives us power over all the power of the Enemy. Our collective lives, lived to and inspired by Jesus Christ, comprise the entire ministry of the Priesthood of all Believers — the Order of Melchizedek, the Church. We believe in the five-fold ministry given by God to His Church (Ephesians 4.11), and, we function using this model prayerfully guided by Holy Scripture and prophetic direction. We believe that all the Gifts of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 12) are operating in the Church to the glory of God. We believe these gifts are present in children and youth, there to be brought forth under the guidance of adults in ministry glorifying God. We believe that Children of Glory Ministries is called to utilize these gifts as we live out the Great Commission, and by God’s grace, to ensure that all who are brought to saving faith and Baptism are discipled.
