Frontier Fellowship's Theological Affirmations:

God is at work around the world in amazing ways!

It is in the very character of God—the One who in love sent the Son into the world and poured out the Spirit upon the disciples, who is blessing all the peoples of the earth - that the church discovers its mission purpose.

We believe God has called us to connect congregations in vital ways to the proclamation of the kingdom among unreached people groups.

We believe that the Bible is our final authority for faith and practice.

Along with believers from the early days of Christianity until now, we believe in the triune God and affirm the faith confessed in the Nicene Creed and the Apostles’ Creed.

As members in the body of Christ, we stand within the Reformed faith as set forth in the historic Reformed confessions of the church. We believe with these confessions that Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh, is the only Lord and Savior.

As part of the global Christian community, we affirm the Lausanne Covenant of 1974.

As participants in God's mission to the world, we affirm our willingness to share in mission "with all those who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Cor 1:2) We will seek to honor others in the body of Christ while affirming that each partner must discern the nature of their own service.

We affirm the Holy Spirit is at work in the world and in the church, distributing gifts as the Spirit wills for the building up of the body for God's mission.
We believe God calls both women and men and equips both with gifts for leadership in the body of Christ.
We affirm the biblical standard for personal discipleship and ordination that calls all
persons to live either in fidelity within the covenant of marriage between a man and a
woman, or in chastity in singleness.
We believe that all Jesus' followers are called to bear witness to him in their communities and in the world.
We believe that God’s creation of diverse cultures around the world reflects his glory and grace and that each culture is able to receive the gospel, be shaped by the gospel, and express the gospel in ways that are authentic to its unique cultural context.

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according
to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus
throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” (Eph 3:20-21)

As a Christian ministry, Frontier Fellowship seeks team members who share our faith, values, and commitment to our mission. All employees are expected to affirm and uphold our shared Christian values and be passionate about inviting believing communities to engage people groups where the Good News of Jesus and His Kingdom is not yet known.
