One word from GOD can change your life. Shepherd's Gate
Mission's, Inc. was founded for the purpose of helping people (hand up-not hand out) change their lives for the better and bringing the Word of GOD to the
body of CHRIST, where they will
develop into servants and worshipers of GOD as together we will change the world.
OUR STATEMENT of FAITH We believe in, and live by, God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ, His Son, Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost Through the Word of God and born of the virgin, Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified dead and buried. He descended into Hell and He stripped Satan of his power. Upon the third day He rose again and Ascended into Heaven Where He is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. We believe in the forgiveness of all sins, the resurrection of the body, the communion of the saints, and life everlasting. We believe that through a daily profession of faith and trust in the shed blood of Jesus Christ, His death, burial, resurrection, and ascension; one may become a partaker of their inheritance in Him.
1.We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God written by holy men as they were instructed by God. It is the inerrant Word of God (2 Tim 3:15).
2.We believe that Man was created good and upright, for God said, “Let us make man in Our own image, after Our likeness.” But man, voluntarily transgressed against God, and God has provided man with his only hope of salvation and redemption which is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Gen. 1:26-31, 3:17, Rom. 5:12-21).
3.We believe that Jesus came as a man, was born of a virgin, and His Father is God.
4.We believe that Jesus was born without the inherited sin of Adam and, during his entire life, committed no sin. Jesus was the eternal Father made visible, apart from whom there is no God (I Tim. 3:16, John 10:30, Is. 9:6, Luke 2:11, Rev. 1:8).
5.We believe in the personal salvation of believers through the confession of sins, recognizing that Jesus Christ is the substitute for our sins, through His shed blood. It is by the grace of God, through faith in Jesus Christ and His shed blood, that we become an heir of God (Rom. 10:9, 10, 1 John 1:9, Eph. 2:8,9).
6.We believe that the New Birth is a direct witness of the Spirit and is an inward confession of Jesus Christ (Rom. 8:16).
7.We believe that following salvation through Jesus Christ you should be baptized…as commanded by the Lord Jesus. This was the last command He left His apostles. “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them, in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost.” (Matt. 28:19) Mark 16:16 reads, “ He that believeth, and is baptized, shall be saved…”
8.We believe in the imminent return, second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ for His Church (His bride). We believe that there is a heaven and a hell. Heaven is a place of eternal rest for the righteous (those who have accepted Jesus Christ as atonement for their sins) and hell is a place of eternal damnation for the unrighteous (those who do not accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior) (Matt. 28:19, Mark 16:16). We believe in the Great Commission – to minister God’s saving grace and to reach out to the poor and lost in spirit (Mark 16:15). And foremost, to honor and obey God’s command, “take the gospel into all the world.”
