Mission of Hope Ministries, Inc. Mission Statement

Transcription

1 Mission of Hope Ministries, Inc. Mission Statement Mission of Hope Ministries, Inc. is a para-church organization that presents the Gospel of Jesus Christ through multiple types of service. We desire to be a true charity by helping the indigent; therefore we do not charge for our services. We believe in the holistic approach to physical, mental, and spiritual wellness. We share the Christian faith believing that it creates a more stable, healthier, and happier life. Each director and staff member is dedicated to the goals of this Christian ministry.

2 Doctrinal Statement as Adopted by The Board of Directors of Mission of Hope Ministries, Inc. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, inerrant and ultimately authoritative Word of God. We believe there is one eternal God existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ as revealed in the Word of God is full Deity, that He was born of a virgin, that man is redeemed by His atoning death and through His shed Blood, that He bodily resurrected and ascended back into heaven, and that He will come again in great power and glory. We believe that man is saved through a direct personal encounter with the risen Lord, at which time man is regenerated by the Holy Spirit, which event we hold to be an experience as opposed to a doctrinal supposition. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by Whom Christ indwells every individual believer, empowering the believer to live a godly life of obedience as he reaches for maturity. We believe that the Holy Spirit unites all redeemed believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and that together they form one body called the Church.
