Statement of Faith
The team at Church Marketing University is best equipped to serve Jesus-Centered Evangelical Churches. Church Marketing University is designed for churches that align with these deeply held religious beliefs:
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death 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.
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; in the realities of both heaven and hell.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Our programs are not intended to be used by organizations in contradiction to these beliefs. If our expertise is not a good fit for your church, we often can recommend you to organizations that are a better fit for your church.
