FOUNDATIONAL MINISTRY DOCUMENT
Christ Above All · Scripture Above Culture · The Gospel Before Programs
Rally Point Ministries exists to glorify God by proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ, making disciples, caring for the hurting and spiritually disconnected, and helping believers become rooted in the life and fellowship of the local church.
We believe the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God. Scripture is truthful, trustworthy, sufficient, authoritative, and the final standard for doctrine, conduct, ministry, and spiritual experience.
2 Timothy 3:16–17 · 2 Peter 1:20–21 · John 17:17
We believe there is one true and living God who eternally exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—one God, equal in divine nature, glory, majesty, and perfection.
Deuteronomy 6:4 · Matthew 28:19 · 2 Corinthians 13:14
We believe God the Father reigns sovereignly over creation, providence, redemption, and history. He sustains all things and graciously adopts as His children all who come through faith in Jesus Christ.
Psalm 103:19 · Romans 8:14–17 · Ephesians 1:3–6
We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully man. He was born of the virgin Mary, lived without sin, died as a substitutionary sacrifice for sinners, bodily rose from the dead, ascended to heaven, reigns, intercedes for His people, and will return personally and visibly in glory.
Isaiah 53:4–6 · John 1:1–14 · 1 Corinthians 15:3–8
We believe the Holy Spirit is fully God. He convicts of sin, gives spiritual life, indwells and seals every true believer, produces spiritual fruit, gives gifts, illuminates Scripture, empowers ministry, and conforms God’s people to Christ.
John 16:7–14 · Romans 8:9–16 · Galatians 5:22–25
We believe God created the heavens and the earth and created humanity in His image. Every person possesses inherent dignity and worth. God created humanity male and female, equal in dignity and distinct and complementary.
Genesis 1:1, 26–28 · Genesis 2:18–25 · James 3:9
We believe humanity fell into sin and every person is naturally alienated from God and unable to save himself or herself through morality, religion, good works, self-improvement, or human effort.
Genesis 3:1–19 · Romans 3:10–23 · Ephesians 2:1–3
We believe salvation is entirely a work of God’s grace. The Father planned redemption, the Son accomplished it, and the Holy Spirit applies it. A sinner is justified by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Good works are fruit, not the cause, of salvation.
Romans 3:23–28 · Ephesians 1:3–14 · Ephesians 2:1–10
We believe God commands all people to repent and believe in Jesus Christ. Conversion is more than emotion, moral improvement, church attendance, baptism, or repeating a prayer; it is God bringing a spiritually dead sinner to life, resulting in genuine repentance and faith.
Mark 1:14–15 · John 3:3–8 · Acts 17:30
We believe God declares the believer righteous on the basis of Christ’s righteousness, not personal works. Jesus bore the judgment sinners deserved, and believers receive forgiveness and the righteousness of Christ through faith.
Romans 3:21–26 · Romans 5:1 · 2 Corinthians 5:21
We believe every genuine believer is called to grow in holiness. By the Holy Spirit, believers increasingly die to sin and live in obedience to Christ. Growth does not earn salvation; it flows from salvation.
Romans 6:1–14 · Galatians 5:16–25 · Philippians 2:12–13
We believe every person genuinely born again and united to Christ by faith is eternally secure. A true believer cannot lose salvation. Genuine believers may stumble or fall seriously, but God disciplines, restores, preserves, and brings His people to final glory.
John 10:27–30 · Romans 8:28–39 · Philippians 1:6 · 1 Peter 1:3–5
We believe the universal Church consists of all genuine believers and that God’s normal design is active participation in a faithful local church under biblically qualified leadership. Rally Point is not intended to replace the local church.
Acts 2:42–47 · Ephesians 4:11–16 · Hebrews 10:24–25
We believe Christ commanded baptism and the Lord’s Supper. We affirm believer’s baptism following a credible profession of faith. Neither ordinance earns salvation; both belong particularly to the gathered local church.
Matthew 28:18–20 · Romans 6:3–4 · 1 Corinthians 11:23–29
We believe God created humanity male and female and established marriage as a covenant union between one man and one woman. Sexual intimacy is reserved for marriage. Every person must be treated with dignity, compassion, patience, and respect, while Christian love remains faithful to biblical truth.
Genesis 1:27 · Matthew 19:4–6 · 1 Corinthians 6:9–11
We believe every human life possesses inherent dignity because every person bears God’s image. Christians should defend the vulnerable, care for the suffering, and value human life regardless of age, ability, status, wealth, usefulness, background, or circumstance.
Genesis 1:26–27 · Psalm 139:13–16 · Proverbs 24:11–12
We believe followers of Christ are called to bear burdens and show practical compassion. Christian compassion must never be separated from Christian truth. We seek to speak truth, demonstrate mercy, and patiently walk beside people.
Galatians 6:1–2 · 1 Thessalonians 5:14 · James 2:14–17
We believe every Christian is called to participate in Christ’s mission of making disciples. Evangelism and discipleship are fundamental responsibilities, not optional programs.
Matthew 28:18–20 · Acts 1:8 · 2 Timothy 2:2
We believe Jesus Christ will personally, visibly, and gloriously return. God will raise the dead and judge humanity. Those in Christ will enter everlasting life; those outside Christ will face eternal judgment. God will finally defeat sin, Satan, suffering, and death.
Matthew 25:31–46 · 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18 · Revelation 21:1–5
We believe genuine Christians may disagree over secondary matters while remaining brothers and sisters in Christ. We will not sacrifice essential doctrine for unity, nor divide unnecessarily over issues on which faithful Christians may legitimately disagree.
John 17:20–23 · Romans 14:1–13 · Ephesians 4:1–6
