Statement of Faith
Prayer is talking to God. Prayer consists of communicating between an individual (or a group of individuals) and God. During times of prayer, God hears our prayers and may communicate with the ones praying.
We believe the Bible (Old and New Testaments) to be the Holy Spirit-inspired, the only infallible, inerrant, authoritative Word of God, revealing the love of God to the world. God communicates with us through the Bible and is the standard by which we should test our thoughts, feelings, plans and actions.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
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 return in power and glory. We pray to God only in the name of Jesus Christ during Teachers Who Pray meetings.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a godly life.
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.
We believe that each person is wonderfully made by God as a male or a female, and a person’s sex cannot be changed. These two distinct but complementary sexes together reflect the image and likeness of God.
