Mission Statement
“Reaching the unsaved with the gospel of Jesus Christ through personal example
and love in the context of God’s beautiful creative handiwork while nurturing and discipling
Christians to strengthen the family unit and the church.”
Royal Ridges’ Statement of Faith
(Evangelical Free Church of America)
1. The scripture, both Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God, without error in
the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men and the
Divine and final authority for Christian faith and life.
2. In one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3. That Jesus is true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of
the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross, a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures.
Further, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where, at the right hand of
the Majesty on High, He is now our High Priest and Advocate.
4. That the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, and during this age to
convict men, regenerate the believing sinner, indwell, guide, instruct, and empower the
believer for godly living and service.
5. That man was created in the image of God, but fell into sin and is, therefore, lost and only
through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained.
6. That the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for
justification and salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ are born
of the Holy Spirit and, thus, become children of God.
7. That water baptism and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances to be observed by the Church
during the present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as a means of salvation.
8. That the true Church is composed of all such persons who through faith in Jesus Christ have
been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the Body of Christ of which
He is the Head.
9. That only those who are, thus, members of the Church shall be eligible for membership in the
local church.
10. That Jesus Christ is the Lord and Head of the Church and that every local church has the
right, under Christ, to decide and govern it’s own affairs.
11. In the personal pre-millennial and imminent coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and that this
“Blessed Hope” has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believer.
12. In the bodily resurrection of the dead; of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with
the Lord; of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment.
I have read, understand and agree with these statements. I also agree to avoid controversial doctrinal issues and to
work with those of different theological persuasions due to the “interdenominational” nature of Royal Ridges'
ministry.
