We Believe

The following doctrinal statement reflects the foundational beliefs of Child Evangelism Fellowship. Every ministry, program, and lesson we teach is rooted in these truths.

  1. “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God,” by which we understand the whole book called The Bible; that it is inerrant in the original writing and that its teaching and authority are absolute, supreme and final. That the Holy Spirit guided the holy men of old in all that they wrote.

    2 Timothy 3:16; Deuteronomy 4:2; 2 Peter 1:21

  2. The Godhead eternally exists in three persons — the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are one God, having the same nature, attributes and perfection.
