Statement of Beliefs

Please carefully read our statement of beliefs below and indicate below your degree of support.
Truth matters. Without it, we have nothing solid to build our lives upon. At Church at The Mill, the truth of God's Word is always at the forefront. We build our faith off of these foundational beliefs.

About God - God is the creator and ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. All three are co-equal and one God.

About Jesus Christ - Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father and Holy Spirit. Jesus lived a sinless life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on the cross. He arose from the dead on the third day to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return again someday to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

About the Holy Spirit - The Holy Spirit is equal to the Father and the Son. He is present in the world to make people aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He gives every believer a spiritual gift when they are saved. Ultimate spirituality is not connected to any particular spiritual gift.

About the Bible - The Bible is God's Word to us. It was written by men who were under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the only source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is true. It does not contain any errors.

About Human Beings - People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God's creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by sin which separates people from God and causes problems in this life.

About Salvation - Salvation is God's free gift to us, but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin's penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith, we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life of faith.

About Eternal Security - Because God gives us eternal life through Jesus Christ, the true believer is secure in that salvation for eternity. If you have been genuinely saved, you can't "lose" it. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian.

About Eternity - People were created to live forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God in Hell or with God in Heaven. Heaven and Hell are real places where resurrected persons ultimately reside forever.

About Baptism and Communion - Baptism is the immersion of a believer in water. Communion is the taking of bread and juice as a symbol of the body and blood of Jesus.

LIFESTYLE COVENANT:

As a Church at The Mill staff member, know that you are in a leadership position and will be a role model for students. As such, it is important that you represent well the values and beliefs of Church at The Mill. Important lifestyle issues include:

Relationship / Sexual Behavior

We hold a biblical view of marriage. We believe that marriage was designed by God to be a committed, monogamous relationship between a man and a woman. We believe that sex was created by God as an expression of intimacy within the context of biblical marriage. Volunteers who embrace a lifestyle that contradicts these beliefs will find themselves having to pretend to be something they’re not and believe something they don’t.

We may ask you not to serve for the following reasons:

- If you are involved in a romantically intimate relationship with someone of the same sex.
- If you are involved in a sexual relationship and not married.
- If you are currently living with someone of the opposite sex and not married.
- If you are married and are currently involved in a romantically intimate relationship outside of your marriage.

Substance Behavior

If you have a history of alcohol or drug abuse, this might be something God uses in a positive way to impact the future of the next generation. We’d love to talk with you further about your story and how it can impact the students in our ministry.

We have a few guidelines that will determine your volunteer placement, and a few reasons we may ask you not to serve at this time:

- If you have been arrested for or convicted of an alcohol or drug-related offense in the past 12 months.
- If you are currently being treated for alcohol or drug abuse.
- If you have used any illegal substance in the past twelve months.
- If you consume alcohol to the point of being unable to drive legally.

Social Behavior / Communications

The students in your group will definitely visit your social media platforms. We think social media can be a great way to connect with families outside of programming! However, they’ll also be able to see everything you post publicly. Please leverage your social media in a positive way. Please be mindful of everything you post.

We may ask you not to serve for the following reasons:

- If you use inappropriate language.
- If you post inappropriate pictures.
- You promote anything that does not represent the values of CATM.
- Any inappropriate communication with a student.
By signing below, I agree to the terms above as long as I am employed by Church at The Mill. If I am unable to uphold this covenant I understand that I will need to resign from my position or that I may be asked by the leadership to resign.*
