Statement of faith

The spiritual beliefs upon which Shelter KC: a Kansas City Rescue Mission was founded and that continue to drive it are outlined below. Adherence to these beliefs is common to all employees. We believe:

In one God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit

The Bible is the Word of God, fully inspired by God, and tells us everything we need to know about grace, faith and salvation.

That all persons are separated from God because of sin and that sin impacts our nature as well as our actions.

Jesus Christ died for everyone, and anyone who turns to Him in faith and trusts in Him is forgiven.

Followers of Jesus are called to become Christ-like disciples through the work of the Holy Spirit, empowering them to live and love as Jesus did.

Those who are forgiven and filled with the Spirit receive the gift of assurance of salvation and the hope of eternal life.

Our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, all will be judged righteous or unrighteous and the righteous will reign with God forever.
