David’s Tent USA is an interdenominational ministry committed to:

The authority of the Word of God–The Holy Bible,
The Lordship of the Son of God–Jesus Christ,
The work of the Spirit of God,
The mission of the church of God.

We believe that the Bible is our statement and standard for all belief, instruction, practice, and policy. We acknowledge the historical roots of Christianity that have shaped the theology and orthodoxy of our faith and use the Nicene and Apostles’ creeds as summaries of the gospel consistent with scripture.

We are committed to ministering to God in night-and-day worship (Revelation 4:8; Leviticus 6:12), partnering and communing with God in prayer and intercession (Ezekiel 22:30), and telling others about Jesus with the good news of the gospel (Matthew 28:18-20).

We direct the affairs of our ministry in a manner concordant with scripture and have adopted specific core values and other policies that guide our vision and govern our policy (2 Timothy 3:16).

We believe in Biblical Christianity expressed most clearly in the worship, following, and Supremacy of Jesus Christ (Col 1:15-20). We believe that Jesus is the only way to the Father (John 14:6) and that no other is worthy of our worship (Exodus 20:3). While honoring the branch of Israel we are grafted into, we exclude all other religions, faiths, and belief systems.

We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary sexes together reflect the image and nature of God (Genesis 1:26-27). Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person.

We believe the term “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture (Genesis 2:18-25). We believe that marriage between one man and one woman, for life, uniquely reflects Christ’s relationship with His Church (Ephesians 5:21-33).

We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other (1 Corinthians 6:18; 7:2-5; Hebrews 13:4). We believe that God has commanded that no sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman.

We believe that any form of sexual immorality (including adultery, fornication, cohabitation while unmarried, homosexual behavior, rejection of one’s biological sex, or use of pornography) is sinful and offensive to God (Matthew 15:18-20; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10).

We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ (Acts 3:19-21; Romans 10:9-10; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11).

We believe that every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity (Mark 12:28-31; Luke 6:31). Hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes directed toward any individual are to be repudiated and are not in accord with Scripture nor values of David’s Tent.

We believe all human life is sacred and created by God in His image. Human life is of inestimable worth in all its dimensions, including pre-born babies, the aged, the physically or mentally challenged, and every other stage or condition from conception through natural death. We are therefore called to defend, protect, and value all human life (Psalm 139).

Final Authority for Matters of Belief and Conduct

The statement of faith does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs. The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe. For purposes of David’s Tent USA’s faith, doctrine, practice, policy, and discipline, our Board of Directors is David’s Tent USA’s final interpretive authority on the Bible’s application.
