Statement of Faith

CoAid is a Christian non-profit organization. We do what we do because we believe we have a God-directed mandate to serve our fellow man in ways that will honor God and bring Him glory.

To further clarify and define our beliefs, we have adopted the following statement of faith:

  • There is one God eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19). Jesus Christ is God the Son and is true God and true man (Philippians 2:5-8).

  • Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin (Matthew 1:18, Matthew 1:23), led a sinless life, took on Himself all our sins (Romans 5:8-9), died on the cross, and rose again (1 Corinthians 15:1-4), and is seated at the right hand of the Father as our mediator (Hebrews 9:15) and advocate (1 John 2:1).

  • The Bible is God's Word, uniquely and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit (2 Timothy 3:16-17), and is authoritative on all matters on which it speaks (2 Peter 1:20-21).

  • All people sin and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) and will face eternal separation from God unless they come into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ (John 3:16-17). Salvation is a free gift from God (Ephesians 2:8-9) that can only be received by faith in Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12, Galatians 2:16).

  • God works through the members of His church to evangelize the lost and teach believers to obey His commands (Matthew 28:18-20). As Christians we are to be open to and accepting of all people, offering God's love and redemption to each person without prejudice or condemnation (John 3:16-18).

  • God's people are called to holiness in all aspects of life (Galatians 5:22-25), with the goal of being conformed to the image of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Romans 8:29).
