The Well Ministries

We believe:

1. We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and the only infallible guide and rule of faith and conduct.
2. We believe there is one God eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe that Jesus Christ came into the world to reveal the Father and to take away sin, and destroy the works of the devil, and that He was the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, that Jesus Christ is the creator of all things, for by Him the worlds were made.
4. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His victorious and atoning sacrifice through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father and in His personal return in power and glory.
5. We believe Jesus Christ will return to earth as Savior and Lord imminently. Mankind will be resurrected bodily, the saved to eternal happiness and security with God, and the unsaved to everlasting punishment in hell.
6. We believe since man is unable to save himself, salvation comes by grace alone received through faith in Christ as Savior on the basis of Godly repentance.
7. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
8. We believe the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a definite experience subsequent to conversion provided by the Lord for every believer for purposes of Christian witness, holiness, and edification. An evidence of this experience is the speaking in tongues as empowered by the Holy Spirit.
9. We believe divine healing, provided for in the atonement, is available to mankind in every age and is granted according to God’s will in answer to believing prayer.
10. We believe the great commission of Christ is literal and imperative today. To carry out a program of world evangelism is both the duty and supreme privilege of the church.
11. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers of all denominations in our Lord Jesus Christ.
