FAQ ANSWERS

1. Doctrinal Statement

• We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible and authoritative Word of God.
• We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in the three persons: The 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 and His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His tangible return in power and glory.
• 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 in the resurrection of the body of the saved and lost — they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
• We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in Christ.

This doctrinal statement is taken from the doctrine statement of Youth For Christ and consistent with evangelical, interdenominational organizations. Teen Missions is a member of Evangelical Press Association, Youth Evangelism Association, Christian Camping Intl., and the Cocoa Beach Chamber of Commerce.

5. Our material was donated by a man who was formally with the Canadian Sunday School Mission.
