The Bible
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and the final authority for faith, doctrine, and daily living. God’s Word reveals who He is, shows mankind the way of salvation, and teaches believers how to live in obedience to Him.
The Beliefs That Guide This Ministry
What We Believe
The Great Commission Network is built on the truth of God’s Word and the gospel of Jesus Christ. This page summarizes the foundational beliefs that guide this ministry and its teaching.
The Foundation Beneath It All
The Pillars Behind What We Believe
Everything we believe rests on the foundational truths of the Christian faith. These ten Pillars of Christianity are the framework beneath every belief on this page — each one grounded in the Word of God.
Christ-Centered and Bible-Centered
Our Biblical Foundation
God
We believe there is one true and living God, the Creator and Lord of all, eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. He is holy, righteous, merciful, loving, and worthy of all worship, obedience, and glory.
Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, fully God and fully man. He is the Word made flesh, the sinless Saviour, and the only way to the Father. He died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day.
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, draws people to Christ, fills and empowers believers, and helps Christians walk in truth, holiness, and obedience to God’s Word.
Salvation
We believe all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, so every person needs salvation. Salvation is the gift of God through Jesus Christ. It is not earned by good works, religion, or personal effort, but received by grace through faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Repentance and Faith
We believe the Bible calls all people to repent and believe the gospel. Repentance means turning from sin and turning to God. Faith means trusting in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. This is how a person responds to the salvation Christ offers.
Holy Living
We believe followers of Jesus are called to live holy, obey God’s Word, walk in love, and be led by the Holy Spirit. Holiness is not about self-righteousness, but about a life surrendered to God.
Baptism and Discipleship
We believe believers are called to follow Jesus in obedience, baptism, discipleship, prayer, fellowship, and continued growth in God’s Word — living out the Great Commission Christ gave to His people.
The Church
We believe all who are saved through Jesus Christ are joined together as the Church, the body of Christ. Believers are members one of another, called to gather, worship, love, and serve so that the whole body is built up in Him.
The Great Commission
We believe Jesus commanded His followers to go into all the world, preach the gospel, make disciples, and teach others to observe His Word. This mission is central to The Great Commission Network.
The Return of Christ
We believe Jesus Christ will return. Believers are called to remain faithful, watchful, and ready as we continue serving Him and proclaiming the gospel.
Keep Growing in the Word
These beliefs are not meant to be only read, but lived. We invite you to continue learning about Jesus Christ, salvation, and the Word of God.
