Statement of faith


We believe in:
• The plenary, verbal, divine inspiration of the Scriptures, consisting of the 39 Old Testament and 27 New Testament books, and as the Word of God, they are the supreme and final authority in faith and practice;

• The Triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – the Sovereign Creator, Sustainer, and Ruler of the universe;

• The essential absolute, eternal deity and the real and proper – but sinless – humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ;

• His birth of the Virgin Mary;

• His substitutionary death on the cross for our salvation;

• His bodily resurrection from among the dead;

• Salvation, the effect of regeneration by the Spirit and the Word, not by works but by grace through faith in the shed blood of Christ;

• The abiding presence and ministry of the Holy Spirit in each regenerate life;

• The everlasting bliss of the saved in heaven and the everlasting suffering of the lost in the lake of fire;

• We believe that the church, the Body of Christ, is composed of all true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. The church and it’s members should have as primary goals the evangelization of the world through biblical missionary methods, and the edification of all believers.

 We have been with Safe Harbor since 2002. We feel that their professionalism as CPAs and attorneys provide knowledge about many things and can give advice about how best to grow our money. We consider our money the Lord's money, and we want to use it wisely and put it to work for the Lord. We appreciate the information Safe Harbor has given us on charitable gift giving and other investments.

 Safe Harbor is an organization that spent much time and effort to research our needs and understand our organization so that our foundation accounts would be developed properly. The thoroughness of information and help proved invaluable not just in setting up the accounts, but also in explaining and promoting our long term goals to our people! We are very appreciative of their careful and thorough investment strategies that have rewarded us with good gains every year and helped to meet some of our most immediate needs. Safe Harbor is not just about money, but about ministry. How can they help you meet your ministry's goals by being financially responsible in a way that brings glory to God? Give them a call and put these passionate, professionals to work for you today.

 I am busy as a Bible teacher and a preacher. Neither my wife nor I have the required time or the trained skills to make sound financial investments with our funds. We needed someone to make wise decisions for our investments. We are delighted that Safe Harbor has given us that kind of help for a number of reasons. First, they are competent investors. We started with Safe Harbor when one of their CPAs advised us to put the assets of a stock into a Charitable Gift Annuity to avoid a high capital gains tax. It has been good for the charities that we chose to support and good for our retirement. Second, they are conscientious investors. They invest our funds in harmony with our Christian faith and conscience. Third, they are committed investors giving us an excellent return on our invested funds so that we can give more than we hoped to missionaries and our favorite charities. Fourth, they are consistent investors producing good results each month with the funds that we have entrusted to their care. They have smoothed out the fluctuations that we experienced in the stock market and consistently given us positive gains in times of good and bad economic conditions. We are grateful to the Lord for the help that Safe Harbor has given to us.
