Statement of Faith
While not affiliated with any specific church or denomination, DayWorker Missions follows in the tradition of the Protestant Reformation in affirming all the truths of biblical, historic Christianity. The beliefs of DayWorker Missions staff and board of directors are best summarized in the Lausanne Covenant. Together with Christians of many traditions from around the world, we affirm the following:
1. We believe in one God, creator of all things, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
2. We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is both fully God and fully man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, was born of the virgin Mary, was crucified to make atonement for our sins, was raised to life, ascended to heaven, now sits enthroned in majesty interceding for us, and will come again in power and glory.
3. We believe in the Holy Spirit, whose work is to glorify Jesus the Son, to convict men of their sins, to regenerate sinners, to indwell and empower believers for holiness of life.
4. We believe that the Old and New Testaments are the very word of God, written by human authors, inspired by the Holy Spirit and therefore altogether authoritative and trustworthy, a necessary and sufficient revelation of God’s character and will.
5. We believe that mankind was created unique in the image of God. Through man’s first disobedience, the whole human race fell into sin and came under the just wrath of God.
6. We believe that our only hope for salvation is the grace of God, given in the atoning death and life-giving resurrection of Jesus Christ, and applied to us by the Holy Spirit in regeneration. Those who repent and believe receive eternal life, but those who die in their sins justly receive the hell of God’s eternal judgment.
7. We believe that the church, comprised of all those who believe in Jesus Christ as savior and lord, is the body of Christ on earth. Called out from among all the nations, the church gathers together to worship God and goes out to serve God in the world.
We believe in the future coming of the Lord Jesus, personal and visible, to finish His work of salvation and judgment, to raise the dead bodily, and to call all men to account. This is our blessed hope and our daily motivation for obedience and faithfulness.
