Statement of Faith
Understanding our Statement of Faith:
We joyfully serve churches from many Christian traditions, however Church Content Co. is proud to operate from a clearly defined theological foundation.
Our work is guided by our company Statement of Faith, which reflects historic Reformation theology rooted in the authority of Scripture and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Because our team produces content that represents the teaching ministry of churches, we ask prospective partners to review our statement of faith to ensure that our convictions do not create unnecessary tension in the content we create together.
Disclaimer:
Out of respect for both our clients and our own convictions, there may occasionally be topics or theological emphases that fall outside the scope of what we are able to produce or promote as a company due to our personal convictions.
In such cases, we may respectfully decline to create content related to those particular teachings. Our goal is not to critique or debate the theological differences between Christian traditions, but simply to operate with integrity according to the convictions outlined in our Statement of Faith.
In most cases, these differences do not affect the core mission we share with our partners: proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ and helping churches faithfully steward their message in the digital age.
Church Content Co. is owned by Christians currently preparing for Confirmation within the Reformed Episcopal Church, a tradition rooted in the historic Protestant Reformation within the Anglican heritage.

Holy Scriptures
We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the inspired Word of God, written under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
We believe scripture is the only infallible rule of faith and practice, containing all things necessary for salvation and the life of the Church. All doctrine, tradition, and church authority must therefore be tested by and subject to the authority of Holy Scripture.
Triune God
We believe there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
These three persons are coequal in glory, power, and majesty, sharing one divine essence and worthy of all worship, obedience, and praise.
God the Father
We believe God the Father is the Creator of heaven and earth, who upholds and governs all things by His providence.
In His love and mercy, He sent His Son into the world to redeem sinners and adopts into His family all who believe in Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully divine and fully human. The firstborn of creation, in whom we live and move and have our being.
We affirm that:
He was conceived by the Holy Spirit
Born of the Virgin Mary
Lived a sinless and perfect life
Was crucified as a substitutionary atoning sacrifice for sin
Was buried and rose bodily from the dead
Ascended into heaven and reigns at the right hand of the Father
Will return again in glory to judge the living and the dead
Through His death and resurrection, Christ accomplished the full redemption of His people.
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son and is the third person of the Trinity.
The Holy Spirit:
Convicts the world of sin
Regenerates those who believe
Indwells believers
Sanctifies them in holiness
Equips them for faithful service and witness
Humanity and the Fall
We believe humanity was created in the image of God, righteous and holy.
We believe through the fall of Adam, all of humanity became sinful by nature and choice, alienated from God and incapable of saving itself. All people are therefore under sin and stand in need of God's grace.
Salvation
We believe that salvation is entirely by the grace of God.
We believe sinners are justified by faith alone in Jesus Christ alone, apart from works or human merit. Christ's righteousness is credited to believers, and their sins are forgiven through His atoning death.
We believe true faith produces repentance and results in a life of obedience and good works, which are the fruit of salvation and evidence of God's transforming grace.
The Church
We believe the Church of Jesus Christ is composed of all who truly believe in Him.
The visible Church exists wherever:
The Word of God is faithfully preached
The ordinances are administered
Christian discipline is exercised
We reject the claim that the Church of Christ exists only in one particular ecclesiastical organization or institution, and has existed from Christ’s ascension and will continue to exist until the end of the age.
The Ministry of the Church
We believe Christ has given ministers to His Church to preach the Gospel, be obedient in His ordinances, and shepherd His people.
In accordance with the teaching of Scripture and the historic practice of the Church, the office of ordained ministry is reserved for qualified men who are called by God and recognized by the Church.
We believe ministers of the Church are not sacrificing priests but servants of the Word and stewards of the mysteries of God.
The Ordinances
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ instituted two holy sacraments for His Church:
Baptism
Baptism is a sign and seal of God's covenant of grace and signifies union with Christ, the forgiveness of sins, and new life in Him.
The Lord’s Supper
The Lord’s Supper is a memorial of Christ’s sacrifice and a means of grace for believers, in which Christ is present to strengthen the faith of His people affirming that Christ’s sacrifice was offered once for all upon the cross.
Christian Marriage and Family
We believe that God created marriage to be a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman.
Marriage was established by God for:
Mutual companionship and support
The bearing and nurturing of children
The ordering of family life according to God's design
We believe marital intimacy is a gift of God intended only for the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman.
Christian Life and Holiness
We believe believers are called to live in holiness, loving God with all their heart and loving their neighbor as themselves.
Through the power of the Holy Spirit, Christians pursue righteousness, resist sin, and seek to glorify God in every area of life.
The Return of Christ and Final Judgment
We believe that Jesus Christ will return bodily and visibly at the end of the age.
At His return:
The dead will be raised
All people will stand before God in judgment
The righteous will enter eternal life
The unrepentant will face eternal separation from God
God will establish a new heaven and a new earth where righteousness dwells.
