WHAT WE BELIEVE

It’s a complicated landscape, right? And you have to understand that when you’re dealing with something as profound as the biblical tradition, there will always be these peripheral doctrines—these secondary points of dogma—where even the most serious, committed individuals are going to find themselves at odds. And that’s fine. In fact, it’s necessary. We welcome that dialogue; it’s part of the process of wrestling with the Truth in a way that’s actually productive.

But you can’t just have an infinite plurality of interpretations or the whole structure collapses into chaos. You need a shared map of meaning. You need a framework—a set of foundational axioms—that allows a community of believers to actually function as a unified body.

We’ve looked at the landscape and said, “Okay, look, there are some things you just can’t compromise on.” We hold these essentials to be the bedrock of our identity. They are the core propositions that define who we are, what we believe, and precisely what it is we are aiming at. We hold to four core beliefs, sixteen in all.
