Mission Statement
Continuing the lifelong work of Billy Graham,
the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association exists to support and extend the
evangelistic calling and ministry of Franklin Graham by proclaiming the Gospel
of the Lord Jesus Christ to all we can by every effective means available to us
and by equipping the church and others to do the same.
Statement of Faith
These core beliefs make up the foundation upon which all our
ministry endeavors are based.
·
We believe the
Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God revealing
the love of God to the world.
(1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy
3:15-17; John 3:16).
·
We believe that
there is one God, eternally
existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit.
(Matthew
28:19; John 10:30; Ephesians
4:4-6).
·
We believe in the
deity of the Lord Jesus Christ,
in His virgin birth, in His sinless
life, in His miracles,
in His vicarious and atoning death through His
shed blood on the cross, in
His bodily resurrection, in His ascension
to the right hand of the
Father, and in
His
personal return in power and
glory. (Matthew 1:23; John
1:1-4 and 1:29; Acts 1:11
and 2:22-24; Romans 8:34; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4;
2 Corinthians 5:21;
Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews
1:1-4 and 4:15).
·
We believe that all
men everywhere are lost and face
the judgment of God, that Jesus Christ
is the only way of salvation, and that
for the salvation of lost and
sinful man, repentance of sin and faith in
Jesus Christ results in regeneration by the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, we believe that God will
reward the righteous with eternal life in heaven, and that He will banish
the unrighteous to everlasting punishment in hell. (Luke 24:46-47; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23; 2 Corinthians 5:10-11;
Ephesians 1:7 and
2:8-9; Titus 3:4-7).
·
We believe in the
present ministry of the Holy Spirit,
whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a godly life. (John
3:5-8; Acts 1:8 and
4:31; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 2:14; Galatians
5:16-18; Ephesians 6:12; Colossians
2:6-10).
·
We believe in the
resurrection of both the
saved and the lost; the saved
unto the resurrection of eternal life and the lost unto the
resurrection of damnation
and eternal punishment.
(1
Corinthians 15:51-57; Revelation 20:11-15).
·
We believe in the
spiritual unity of believers in the Lord
Jesus Christ and
that all true believers are members
of His body, the
church. (1 Corinthians 12:12, 27; Ephesians 1:22-23).
·
We believe that the ministry of evangelism (sharing and proclaiming the message of salvation
only
possible by grace
through faith in Jesus Christ)
and discipleship (helping
followers of Christ grow up into
maturity in Christ) is a responsibility of all
followers of Jesus Christ. (Matthew
28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9-15;1 Peter 3:15).
· We believe God’s
plan for human sexuality
is to be expressed only within the
context of marriage, that God
created man and woman as unique biological persons made for
each other. God instituted monogamous marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family
and the basic structure
of human society. For this reason, we
believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one
genetic male and one genetic female. (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5-6;
Mark 10:6-9; Romans 1:26-27;
1 Corinthians 6:9).
·
We believe that we must dedicate ourselves to
prayer, to the service of our Lord, to His authority over our lives, and to the
ministry of evangelism. (Matthew
9:35-38; 22:37-39, and 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9-15 and 12:20-21;
Galatians 6:10; Colossians 2:6-10; 1 Peter 3:15).
·
We believe that human life is sacred from
conception to its natural end; and that we must have concern for the physical
and spiritual needs of our fellowmen. (Psalm
139:13; Isaiah 49:1; Jeremiah 1:5; Matthew 22:37-39; Romans 12:20-21; Galatians
6:10).
·
We believe God wonderfully and immutably
creates each person a biological
male or female. These two distinct, but
complementary sexes together reflect the image and likeness of God. Rejection of one’s biological sex is a
rejection of God’s merciful design and creative order. (Genesis 1:26-27; Mark 10:6; 1 Corinthians
6:9; Deuteronomy 22:5).
