NCF's Doctrinal Basis
As a ministry of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA®
we believe in:
The only true God, the almighty Creator of all things, existing
eternally in three persons -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
-- full of love and glory. The unique divine inspiration,
entire trustworthiness and authority of the Bible.
The value and dignity of all people: created in God's image
to live in love and holiness, but alienated from God and each
other because of our sin and guilt, and justly subject to
God's wrath.
Jesus Christ, fully human and fully divine, who lived as
a perfect example, who assumed the judgment due sinners by
dying in our place, and who was bodily raised from the dead
and ascended as Savior and Lord.
Justification by God's grace to all who repent and put their
faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation.
The indwelling presence and transforming power of the Holy
Spirit, who gives to all believers a new life and a new calling
to obedient service.
The unity of all believers in Jesus Christ, manifest in worshipping
and witnessing churches making disciples throughout the world.
The victorious reign and future personal return of Jesus
Christ, who will judge all people with justice and mercy,
giving over the unrepentant to eternal condemnation but receiving
the redeemed into eternal life.
To God be glory forever.
