God's
Word: We believe in the full Divine inspiration and
inerrancy of every word of the original manuscripts of the
Old and New Testaments; that revelation ceased with the
completion of the New Testament; and that the Bible is our
sole authority for faith and practice.
God's
Person: We believe in one God in three Persons
(Father/Son/Holy Spirit); that God is a Spirit Who is
personal, eternal, infinite, all-powerful, all-knowing,
all-wise, unchanging, holy, and loving; that He is Creator
and ruler of all things and the sole proper object of
man's worship; and that He judged the world in the past by
the flood and will judge the world by fire in the future
Day of the Lord.
God's
Son: We believe that Jesus is fully God and fully man;
that He eternally pre-existed with the Father, was born of
a virgin, lived a sinless life, worked miracles, died on
the cross and shed His blood as an atonement for man's
sin, rose bodily from the dead, and ascended to Heaven;
that He is exalted as Lord of the universe, the head of
the church, and the believer's High Priest; and that He
will come again to raise the saved to everlasting life and
the lost to everlasting punishment, judge all people, rule
over all, and establish a perfect new heaven and earth.
God's
Grace: We believe that all men inherit a sinful nature
from the fall of Adam, are totally depraved and separated
from God by sin, and are unable to earn salvation; that
salvation from sin is by grace alone through faith alone
in Christ alone; that salvation by grace brings
justification, regeneration, the indwelling of the Holy
Spirit, forgiveness of sins, deliverance from eternal
condemnation, entrance into God's family, eternal life in
God's kingdom, and future resurrection; and that saving
grace brings repentance and leads to a new life manifested
in following Christ and submission to God's moral law.
Kids 4 Truth Distinctives
The Kids 4 Truth Clubs consist of
four main age groups that we refer to as levels.
Each one of the level names reflects the goals
set for that specific age group. Please note that part of
the flexibility of the program is that your church can
utilize the materials for different age groups if desired.
For example, we have some ministries using the materials
with teens that are new Christians. The age groups below
are simply recommendations.
