The Mission of Gospel Volunteers, Inc.

Essential Doctrines of the Christian Faith

• To present the Biblical truths of Jesus Christ • Develop Christian leaders • Strengthen the faith of individuals and families • Promote global evangelism

• We believe in the divine authority of the 66 books of the Bible alone.

• We believe in one God, eternally existing in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

• We believe in the deity and humanity of Jesus Christ in one person with two distinct natures.

• We believe that all mankind is lost eternally without Jesus Christ.• We believe in the substitutionary atonement as well

as the physical bodily resurrection and ascension into heaven of Jesus Christ.

• We believe the only way to Heaven is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, apart from any good works on our part.

• We believe in the physical return of Jesus Christ and that everyone will spend eternity consciously and bodily in either Heaven or Hell.
