Please review Purpose Brands 414's Statement of Faith:
Volunteers and Interns are not required to share these beliefs but are asked to respect them while representing Purpose Brands 414.

There is one God, eternally existing in three co-equal Persons: God the Father, God the
Son, and God the Holy Spirit (Romans 8; Ephesians 1:13-14).

God, out of love for His children, sent His son Jesus Christ to show us how to live; He died
for our sins, and rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-8).

The Bible is the inspired Word of God and is the final authority in life and doctrine (2
Timothy 3:16).

Salvation is a free gift of God. The death of Christ on the cross is the only
sufficient payment for our sins. All have sinned, but all can be saved. This salvation is
available for any who put their trust in Christ as Savior (Romans 3:23, 6:23; John 3:16).

Those trusting Christ should repent of sin, confess that Jesus is Lord, and be reconciled
with God (Romans 10:9).

Jesus powerfully brought the Kingdom of God on earth through His life, death, and
resurrection; and His Church is called to co-labor with Him to advance His Kingdom
(Matthew 4:17; Hebrews 12:28; Matthew 28:18-20).

The victorious, redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides holistic freedom from the
power of the enemy (Colossians 1:13-23; Isaiah 53:3-12).

The Church is the body of Christ on earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit to continue the
task of reaching the lost and discipling the saved, helping them become fully devoted
followers of Christ (Acts 1:4-8, 2:4; Ephesians 4:1-16).

The government and peace of God are ever-increasing through King Jesus (Isaiah 9:7).

Christ will one day return and reign forever with His overcoming bride - the Church (1
Thessalonians 4:13-18).

When we die, we will either be eternally separated from God by sin or eternally with God
through faith in Jesus Christ (John 3:16; John 14:1-3; Revelation 20:10, 15).* I have read the statement of faith. I understand that although I am not required to share these same beliefs, I will respect them while serving at and representing Purpose Brands 414.
