Statement of Belief

We are a ministry that builds up the church and reaches the unchurched.

The Church and the Bible

At CSF, we affirm the essential doctrines that the historical, credal, orthodox, Christian church agrees upon—the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people (Jude 1:3). We believe the teachings and commands of God are uniquely and providentially passed down in the God-inspired, holy 66 books of the Bible—our light and guide. 

Campus Ministry

As a non-denominational campus ministry, we allow for a diversity of opinion on certain issues. Campus ministry is a mission field where students come from a variety of backgrounds, seeking shelter and spiritual nourishment. Therefore, CSF students harbor many opinions on peripheral matters. We want to welcome as many students as possible into this Christ-centered home on campus. However, on essentials, our desire is to be united in living out the classical expression of the faith common among all Christians. We find more agreement in the essentials of Christianity than we find disagreement and place value on genuine ecumenical, biblical orthodoxy. 

Essential Scriptural Beliefs

  • We believe in the Triune God— Father, Son, Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19). 

  • Because all humanity fell, helpless in a state of sin, the Son came and took on flesh to live among us (John 1:14). Jesus, fully God and fully man, was born of a virgin and lived a sinless life—the unique and only Son of God, our only hope for salvations (John 14:6). 

    Put to death on the cross, Jesus died the death we deserved to atone for our sin and raised bodily to life again, defeating Death (Hebrews 2:14-18). 

    It is through faith in Christ that we participate in the death and resurrection of Christ (Romans 6:5-8). Meriting nothing on our own, it is by the work of Christ that we are reconciled to God (Ephesians 2:8-9). 

  • Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in and regenerate Christians, establishing the Church—the worldwide community of Christians (John 14:26; John 20:22). 

    Through the power of the Holy Spirit, the Church exists both as an outpost of the Kingdom of Heaven (2 Peter 2:9-12) and as a means through which the message of Christ’s salvation reaches the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). 

  • Once the fullness of this mission has been carried out in the Father’s eyes, Christ will come again to judge the world, restore all things, and fully institute the Kingdom of God (Acts 3:21). 

    Until that day, CSF lives the mission of the Church specifically for the college campus and all places it impacts, establishing a community in which college students will witness and experience the Kingdom of God and the power of Christ’s salvation. Our prayer is for God to bring His Kingdom to WKU (and beyond) as it is in Heaven. Amen.
