Disciple Makers Companion stands firmly on the foundation of historic, orthodox biblical Christianity. We unite with faithful believers across generations and cultures around these core truths of God's Holy Word:
1. The Holy Scriptures
We believe the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments to be the inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21). The Bible is the supreme and final authority for faith, doctrine, life, and ministry practice.
2. The Triune God
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three co-equal persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14). God is sovereign, holy, loving, omniscient, omnipotent, and worthy of all glory and worship.
3. The Person & Work of Jesus Christ
We believe in the full deity and full humanity of Jesus Christ, His miraculous virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary and atoning death on the cross, His bodily resurrection from the grave, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal, visible return in power and glory (John 1:1-14; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Titus 2:13).
4. Salvation by Grace Through Faith
We believe that all people are sinners by nature and by choice, alienated from God and unable to save themselves (Romans 3:23). Salvation is a free gift of God's grace received solely through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose shed blood cleanses us from all sin (Ephesians 2:8-9; John 14:6). Good works are the inevitable fruit, not the root, of genuine salvation.
5. The Ministry of the Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit regenerates, indwells, seals, and empowers every believer at the moment of conversion (Titus 3:5; Ephesians 1:13-14). The Spirit guides disciples into all truth, illuminates the Scriptures, distributes spiritual gifts for building up the body, and grants power for bold witness and holy living (Acts 1:8).
6. The Church & The Great Commission
We believe the universal Church consists of all true disciples of Jesus Christ who are united to Him as their Head. The primary mission of the Church is the Great Commission: to go into all the world, preach the Gospel, make disciples of all ethnic groups, baptize them, and teach them to obey everything Christ commanded (Matthew 28:18-20).
7. The Resurrection & The Age to Come
We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved unto the resurrection of eternal life in the new heavens and new earth, and the lost unto the resurrection of eternal judgment and separation from God (Revelation 20:11-15; 21:1-4).
