Statement of Faith
Bloomingdale Christian Fellowship has a statement of faith to tell parents, churches and other interested individuals what we as a ministry believe. This is no way restricts which students we welcome to Christian Fellowship activities. Christian Fellowship is open to all students. This statement of faith is written in mildly theological language that is similar to statements of faith of other evangelical Christian organizations. To be very clear, from the very beginning Christian Fellowship has believed the Bible is the Word of God and we believe that every person must by faith accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.

- We believe the Bible is the only inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God.
- We believe 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 to power and glory.
- We believe that for salvation of lost and sinful men, 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: they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
- We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in Christ.
