In addition to these Essential Tenets, Northminster is guided by four complementing
statements of faith:
That Jesus Christ, the Son of God, alone is Lord of all and “salvation is found in no
one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we
must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
That holy Scripture is God’s revealed Word, the Church’s only infallible rule of
faith and life. We celebrate that “all Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for
teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16).
That God’s will and guidance for all people, as revealed in Scripture, is a call to
holiness and wholeness in all aspects of life. This includes honoring the sanctity
and fidelity of marriage between a man and a woman and chastity in singleness.
We uphold that “the body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord,
and the Lord for the body” (I Corinthians 6:13b).
That in response to the teaching of Scripture and knowing God as our Creator
(Psalm 139:13-16), we uphold the sanctity of human life from conception until
death.
