Our Core Values.

  • We believe in God (The Father), Jesus (The Son), and Holy Spirit. We believe that each operates in a distinct function as the one and true living God according to the Bible.

    (John 14:26 (TPT), 2 Corinthians 13:14)

  • We believe in the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8 (TPT) “For by grace you have been saved by faith. Nothing you did could ever earn this salvation, for it was the love gift from God that brought us to Christ!” We believe that there are no great works that we can do to obtain salvation from God and that we can only receive it through faith by grace. Salvation is a gift from God that redeems mankind from their eternal sin and brings reconciliation between Him and His creation.

    (John 3:16, Rom. 10:9-10, John 1:12)

  • We believe that the Holy Bible is the written Word of God. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 states “All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” We believe that the Bible is God’s instruction manual for our lives and final authority as followers of Christ.

  • Here at We Are Chosen Ministries we believe in partaking in Holy Communion as instructed by Jesus at the last supper according to 1 Corinthians 11:23-30. We believe that as we partake in Holy Communion, we reflect on the sacrifice Jesus did for us on the cross.

  • Jesus instructs us to make disciples in every nation and place that He calls us to this is a part of the Great Commission according to Matthew 28:19. We believe that we aren’t called to just make believers of Jesus but disciples of Him.

  • We believe in the spiritual gifts of God which have been given unto us freely. Being empowered by the Holy Spirit we operate in these gifts according to 1 Corinthians 12:1-11.
