JONI AND FRIENDS STATEMENT OF FAITH
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.

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

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His
vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of
the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

We believe that God is love and the depth of his love was demonstrated by the life, death, and resurrection of
Jesus Christ, and in response we are called to compassionately love our neighbor.

We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by Whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

We believe our salvation and our eternal life is a gift of God’s grace through faith alone in Jesus Christ and we are
called to be a living testimony to others of that free and available grace.

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life
and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

We believe that the ministry of evangelism and discipleship is a responsibility of all followers of Jesus Christ.

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

We believe that human life is sacred from conception to its natural end. We believe that since all life is sacred,
every human being has value and deserves dignity. As such, we must have concern for the physical and spiritual
needs of our fellow men.

We believe God’s plan for human sexuality is to be expressed only within the context of marriage, that God created
man and woman as unique biological persons made to complement each other in marriage if God wills. God
instituted monogamous marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family and the basic structure
of human society. For this reason, we believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one genetic male and one
genetic female.
