Doctrinal Statement

EVERYMAN’S WELFARE SERVICE

• There is one God, eternally existent in three Persons, Father, Son (Jesus Christ), and Holy Spirit.
• God is Sovereign in creation, providence, revelation, redemption and final judgement.
• The Bible is Divinely inspired and entirely trustworthy, and is supremely and finally authoritative in all matters of faith and conduct.
• The devil is a real and active person.
• Since the fall, all mankind is sinful and guilty, rendering themselves subject to God’s wrath and condemnation.
• Jesus Christ, God the Son, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died a sacrificial death as our representative and substitute, was raised bodily from death, ascended to the right hand of the Father, from where He will return personally for all His own.
• The work of the Holy Spirit is essential to make the death of Christ effective to the individual sinner, to convict him of sin, to grant him repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, and to accomplish the work of spiritual regeneration.
• The sinner is eternally justified, freed from guilt, the penalty and power of sin solely by God’s grace, through exercising faith in Jesus Christ.
• The Holy Spirit indwells all true believers to teach them concerning Jesus Christ and to produce in them fruitful, Christ-like lives.
• The one holy universal Church, the body of Christ, consists of all true believers, all having functional ministries in the Church.

It is the policy of Everyman’s that we are all one in Christ Jesus and that our emphasis is to bring men and women, boys and girls to Jesus. We do not encourage the espousing of doctrinal emphases that could and would divide us and distract us away from our objectives.
