About the ministry

Raising disciples who are rooted, transformed and equipped

Gospel in Truth exists to raise disciples who are deeply rooted in Scripture, transformed into the likeness of Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and equipped to make disciples of all nations.

Our story

Why this ministry exists

This is placeholder text — replace it with your own story. Tell people how Gospel in Truth began, what burden or conviction started it, and where you sense God is leading it. A few honest paragraphs in your own voice will do more than any polished mission statement.

Speak to the reader directly. What will they find here? Who is it for? What do you hope happens in someone who works through the teaching and the discipleship course? This is the most-read section on most ministry sites, so it's worth writing carefully — but it can go live rough and be refined later.

What holds it together
We seek to hold together deep biblical theology and vibrant dependence upon the Holy Spirit — believing that truth without the Spirit becomes lifeless, while spirituality without truth becomes unstable.

A conservative Reformed theological foundation, a continuationist view of the Holy Spirit’s work, and an intentional culture of disciple-making and authentic Christian community.

What we believe

Statement of Faith

1

The Holy Scriptures

We believe that the Holy Scriptures, consisting of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, are the inspired, infallible, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God. They are God’s complete and sufficient revelation for faith, doctrine, and Christian living, and are the final authority in all matters of belief and practice.

2 Timothy 3:16–17; Psalm 19:7–11; 2 Peter 1:20–21

2

The Triune God

We believe in one true and living God, eternally existing in three distinct but equal Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are one in essence, equal in glory, power, holiness, and majesty.

Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14

3

God the Father

We believe that God the Father is sovereign over all creation, perfect in holiness, wisdom, justice, love, and mercy. He governs all things according to His eternal purpose for His own glory and the good of His people.

4

Jesus Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully man. Conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, He lived a sinless life, fulfilled the Law, died as the substitutionary sacrifice for sinners, rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and now reigns at the Father’s right hand as our Lord, High Priest, and Advocate. We believe He will personally and visibly return to judge the living and the dead and establish the fullness of His Kingdom.

John 1:1–18; Philippians 2:5–11; Hebrews 4:14–16; Acts 1:11

5

The Holy Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit is fully God and actively works to glorify Christ by convicting the world of sin, regenerating sinners, indwelling believers, sanctifying the Church, and empowering believers for holy living and gospel witness. We believe the gifts of the Holy Spirit continue to operate today according to Scripture and should be exercised with humility, love, wisdom, and biblical order for the edification of the Church.

John 16:7–15; Acts 2; 1 Corinthians 12–14; Ephesians 4:30

6

Humanity

We believe that humanity was created in the image of God with inherent dignity and purpose. Through Adam’s fall, all people became sinners by nature and by choice, spiritually dead, unable to save themselves, and under God’s righteous judgment.

Genesis 1:26–27; Romans 3:10–23; Romans 5:12

7

Salvation

We believe salvation is entirely by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Christ’s atoning death and bodily resurrection provide the only basis for forgiveness of sins, justification, reconciliation with God, and eternal life. Salvation results in regeneration, repentance, faith, adoption into God’s family, and a lifelong process of sanctification through the Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 2:8–10; Romans 3:21–26; Titus 3:4–7

8

The Church

We believe the Church is the body of Christ, composed of all true believers united by the Holy Spirit. The local church exists to worship God, proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, administer the ordinances, cultivate biblical community, equip the saints, and demonstrate God’s Kingdom in the world. We affirm believer’s baptism and the Lord’s Supper as ordinances instituted by Christ.

Matthew 28:18–20; Acts 2:42–47; Ephesians 4:11–16

9

Discipleship

We believe every believer is called to lifelong discipleship. The mission of the Church is not merely to make converts but to make mature disciples who increasingly reflect the character of Christ, faithfully obey His Word, and intentionally disciple others. Discipleship flourishes through faithful teaching, intentional relationships, biblical community, prayer, accountability, and practical obedience.

Matthew 28:18–20; Colossians 1:28–29; 2 Timothy 2:2

10

The Christian Life

We believe believers are called to live lives marked by holiness, humility, love, integrity, justice, generosity, purity, and faithful obedience to Christ through the empowering work of the Holy Spirit. We reject teachings and practices that distort the Gospel, including prosperity-centered theology, spiritual manipulation, and any doctrine that diminishes the sufficiency of Christ or the authority of Scripture.

Romans 12; Galatians 5:16–26; Titus 2:11–14

11

Mission

We believe the Church exists to glorify God by proclaiming the Gospel to every nation and making disciples of all peoples. Every believer is called to participate in God’s mission through evangelism, disciple-making, acts of mercy, church planting, leadership development, and faithful service in every sphere of life.

Matthew 28:18–20; Acts 1:8

12

The Last Things

We believe in the personal, visible return of Jesus Christ, the bodily resurrection of all people, the final judgment, the eternal blessedness of the redeemed in the new heavens and new earth, and the eternal punishment of the unrepentant.

John 5:28–29; Revelation 20–22
