Statement of Faith

We believe: God the Father is the loving Creator and carer of all things. He is holy, wise, compassionate, and good. He deeply desires relationship with His children and invites us to know Him, trust Him, and participate in His Kingdom through Jesus and by the Holy Spirit.

Which is why: We help children and young people know God as a good and trustworthy Father — One who made them, delights in them, and welcomes them into His family — so they can approach Him with confidence and love.

We believe: Jesus is the Son of God, Son of Man, Lord, Saviour, Teacher, and Friend. He is also the wisest person ever to live. God has shown us what He is like in Jesus. Because of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, we can be friends with God now and forever.

Which is why: We ensure that our content enables children and young people to learn how to live ‘all in’ for Jesus, how to be like Jesus, and how to learn from His amazing wisdom and example for us.

We believe: God makes Himself known personally to each believer through the work of the Holy Spirit, and to others by the fruit of the activity of the Spirit. We believe that God is already at work in the lives of children and young people, inviting them to know Him and the dynamic love He has for them.

Which is why: In our content, we leave space for children and young people to creatively respond and for the Holy Spirit to come and meet with each one.

We believe: The Kingdom of God is God reigning, where Jesus is King. It is present wherever God’s love and purposes are being lived out.

Which is why: Our resources help children and young people know God’s amazing character, His heart for the created, and how they can contribute to His Kingdom here on earth.

We believe: The Bible is the unique written word of God.

Which is why: Everything we create is biblically grounded. We help children and young people encounter foundational truths and promises from Scripture in age-honoring and accessible ways, so they can understand the Bible as one connected story centered on Jesus and God’s rescue plan for the world.

We believe: The Bible is a story given by a Father to His children. It is a view into God's heart for humanity. Therefore, its message is meant to be accessible, explainable, and understandable.

Which is why: We carefully choose our words and phrasing to ensure that our content is clear. If we use a religious idea, we always explain what we mean in the simplest terms.

We believe: Community is central to our growth in Christ. God invites us all into a vibrant relationship with Him and with one another, so that together we may grow in His love, reflect the way of Jesus, and participate in His Kingdom in the world.

Which is why: We love God’s work in and through our communities. We desire that as children and young people participate in the church, they would grow in their sense of community with their peers through the various engagement activities provided in the curriculum. We also encourage all-age worship and support it by providing curated all age gatherings.

We believe: We are called to a ‘praying life’ rather than a ‘prayer life’. Prayer is a conversation with God. He loves being in relationship with us, and through prayer He listens, speaks, and spends time with us.

Which is why: We include prayer in everything we do! We have a variety of series and lessons on prayer, and various kinds of prayer is included in all lessons. 

We believe: Children and young people are already participants in God’s kingdom. They are not simply ‘future church members’ or ‘future leaders’, but rather present disciples, learning to be alive and active in their faith.

Which is why: RaiseUpFaith exists.
