What we believe
Christ at the center
- We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and our final authority.
- We believe in one God — Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- We believe Jesus Christ is Lord: crucified, risen, and returning.
- We believe salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone.
- We believe caring for orphans is pure and faultless religion (James 1:27).
- We believe every child bears God's image and deserves dignity, safety and love.
