We believe Jesus
Christ is “the way, the truth, and the life.” John 14:6
We believe “salvation
is found in no one else, for there is no other name under
heaven given to man by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12
We believe “if we claim
to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is
not in us.” I John 1:8
We believe “if we confess
our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our
sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” I John 1:9
We believe “Christ Jesus
came into the world to save sinners” and can fully redeem
and powerfully use even those who consider they have been
“the worst.” I
Timothy 1:15

We believe
God "is patient, not wanting any to perish, but everyone to come
to repentance" (II Peter 3:9). We believe all scripture
is “God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting
and training in righteousness.” II Timothy 3:16
We believe every believer in Christ is the “temple of the
Holy Spirit.” I Corinthians 6:19
We believe we have been “baptized
by one Spirit into one body” (I Corinthians 12:13) and recognize
the value and equality of all members of the body of Christ. We
are “all one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:29). We actively support
the unity of all believers eclipsing all denominational, economic,
or ethnic diversities.
We believe we have “different
kinds of gifts but the same Spirit.” I Corinthians 12:4
We believe “our citizenship
is in Heaven and we eagerly await a Savior from there the Lord Jesus
Christ, who, by the power that enables Him to bring everything under
His control, will transform our lowly bodies so they will be like
His glorious body” (Philippians 3:21). “And so shall we forever
be with the Lord.” I Thessalonians 4:17
Until then, we believe we are
to strive to “live holy and Godly lives as we look forward to the
day of God.” II Peter 3:11-12
ONE
OF OUR VISIONS AT UPWORD KIDS
UpWord Kids is
devoted to investing in the Spiritual lives of children of every
color and denomination through sound Biblical teaching and uplifting
praise and worship.
We are excited about the discipleship within the Body of
Christ today. Our desire is to provide a tool enabling every church
regardless of size, resources, or workers the ability to effectively
teach the Word to children.
We believe the
Body of Christ consists of every believer regardless of nationality,
social standing, or denomination.
Someday, we will stand together
just as it states in Revelation 7:9 "…I beheld, and, lo, a great
multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds,
and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the
Lamb,…and cried with a loud voice, saying, 'Salvation to our God
which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb'."
