OUR FAITH

WHAT WE BELIEVE.

The Statement of Faith of FORTH NATION expresses the biblical doctrines we believe, teach, confess, and uphold.

We receive the Holy Scriptures as our supreme written authority for faith, doctrine, Christian conduct, ministry, and mission.

This Statement does not replace Scripture. It summarizes the principal truths we understand the Scriptures to teach and provides the doctrinal foundation governing our worship, discipleship, ministry, mission, and institutional life.

Biblically faithful. Christ-centred.
Spirit-empowered. Missionally engaged.

This public summary reflects the official FORTH NATION Statement of Faith. The full doctrinal document includes the supporting Scriptural anchors for each article.

OUR CONFESSION

We confess:

ONE GOD — FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT.

ONE LORD — JESUS CHRIST.

ONE GOSPEL — THE GOOD NEWS OF SALVATION THROUGH CHRIST.

ONE SCRIPTURAL AUTHORITY — THE HOLY WORD OF GOD.

ONE MISSION — TO MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS.
