What We Believe

Our Statement of Faith

The following Statement of Faith is presented exactly as currently published by Butterfly Ministries International.

We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God, written by human authors under the divine guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the final authority in all matters of faith, conduct, and truth.
We believe there is one true and living God, eternally existent in three Persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—co-equal and co-eternal, who created all things and holds all things together by His power and will.
We believe that Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became flesh through the virgin birth, lived a sinless life, died on the cross as the perfect sacrifice for sin, rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and will one day return in power and glory to reign forever.
We believe that salvation is a free gift from God, received by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Through His atoning sacrifice, all who believe are forgiven, born again by the Holy Spirit, and adopted into the family of God.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, who empowers Believers to live holy lives, reveals truth, convicts of sin, distributes spiritual gifts, and enables us to fulfill our God-given purpose on earth.
We believe that the Church is the body of Christ made up of all Believers, called to worship, grow in truth, love one another, and proclaim the Gospel to the ends of the earth. We affirm the importance of fellowship, discipleship, and spiritual accountability.
We believe in the sanctity of life, the sacred design of marriage between one man and one woman, and the God-given identity and purpose of every person. We uphold biblical values in love, truth, and compassion.
We believe in the reality of spiritual warfare, the existence of Satan and his kingdom, and the authority given to Believers through Christ to overcome darkness, walk in freedom, and advance the Kingdom of God.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost—those who are in Christ to everlasting life, and those who reject Him to eternal separation from God.
We believe that God has uniquely gifted and called every Believer for Kingdom work, and that signs, wonders, and miracles continue today as expressions of His love and power through the Holy Spirit.
