California Family Council Statement of Faith

California Family Council (CFC) is a Christian organization. To effectively carry out our mission (“to advance God’s design for Life, Family, and Liberty through California’s Church, Community, Capitol, and Culture”), all CFC board members, employees, and representatives must agree to the following Statement of Faith.

1. We believe the Bible (the 66 books of the Old and New Testament) to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God, without error in the original manuscripts.
2. We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, Holy Spirit.
3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
4. We believe all human beings are lost and sinful by nature. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. Justification is by faith alone, in Christ alone, and is not based on any human works or doctrine.
5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a godly life.
6. We believe all human life is sacred and created by God in His image and of inestimable worth. This includes embryos, pre-born children, the aged, the physically or mentally challenged, and every other stage or condition from conception through natural death. We are therefore called to defend, protect, and value all human life.
7. We believe God immutably and wonderfully creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect God’s transcendent image and nature.
8. We believe God created marriage to be an exclusive union between one man and one woman, and that intimate sexual activity is to occur exclusively within that union.
9. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
10. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. The true Church is the body of Christ of which He is the head.

We believe these to be the essentials of the Christian faith. In discussions of matters of faith, we support the epigram of, “In essentials, unity; In non-essentials, liberty; and In all things charity.”
