Covenant of Faith and Service

Shepherd House Ministries Covenant of Faith And Service
 
We believe that the Bible is the only inspired, inerrant, authoritative and sufficient Word of God, divinely written by men and is God's revelation of Himself to man.  The Bible is complete, consisting of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments.
 
We believe that there is one and only one living and true God, eternally existent in three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being.
 
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal 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 that a person becomes justified by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer.  In its broadest sense salvation includes regeneration, sanctification, and glorification.
 
We believe that the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling, and by obedience to the Word of God, the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.  ( 2 Timothy 3:16 & 17, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work".
 
We promise to exist to serve girls and women in need by providing help, training, encouragement, counsel and the love of Jesus Christ by ministering the Word of God, and only the Word of God.
 
We agree that all curriculum and educational materials will adhere to strict Biblical/Nouthetic mandate, to which Shepherd House Ministries was founded on.
 
We agree that while serving on the Board of Directors of Shepherd House Ministries, we will be a member in good standing at a Bible believing church.
