Doctrinal Position: Northwestern Christian University
Our Doctrinal Position
- We believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible, eternal Word of God.
- We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- We believe the Bible’s Genesis account of creation.
- We believe in the Deity of Jesus as the Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death on the cross as our perfect sacrifice, through His shed blood.
- We believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father as our Lord and intercessor, and His personal return in power and glory, to judge the living and the dead.
We believe that all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God and that all people are in need of Salvation, by grace, through faith in the completed work of our Lord and Savior Jesus, our Christ, who is the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament scriptures.
We believe that salvation is the free gift of God by Grace, through Faith and not accomplished through good works, but freely given to each individual who has, by Grace through Faith, received the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.
We believe that all who are saved should desire a close personal relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and that we should serve Him as sanctified servants in obedience to His Great Commission.
We believe in the very present ministry of the Holy Spirit, whose indwelling empowers Christians to live a godly life.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost:
- Those who are saved, unto a resurrection of eternal life, in a spiritual body, to a literal heaven.
- Those who are lost, unto a resurrection of damnation, in a literal hell.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers, who comprise the body of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the head of His body, the one true, called-out assembly, recognized as the Ecclesia or Church.
We believe that through the free gift of faith, God, by His Grace, draws those who will believe the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ unto repentance and faith.
We believe that God’s Love, Grace, and Mercy endures forever.
Our Mission Statement
As God’s ministry, we present ourselves as sanctified tools, set apart by God for His Holy use.
In three of the Gospels, our Lord Jesus gave us the Great Commission. The most detailed command—teaching us to proclaim the Gospel message and to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—is found in Matthew (Matthew 28:19-20, biblical basis shown at the bottom of this page).
The will of God for our ministry is for us to do our very best to fulfill our Lord’s Great Commission.
Our goal is to reach every nation by forming ministry alliances and by opening new affiliate branches of our Worldwide Church of Jesus Christ ministry, along with the outreach of our educational ministries: Northwestern Christian University and Northwestern Theological Seminary.
Therefore, we have a great responsibility and mission from God. We are under obligation to lovingly commit our lives to this ministry in response to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ as recorded in His Great Commission.
We lovingly submit our lives to the Lord in obedience to His divine Word and commit to doing all that He has commanded—educating the world concerning His life-changing Gospel and making disciples of every nation.
“Therefore, since we receive a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe.”
— Hebrews 12:28
