Elim Valley Holistic Mission (EVHM) affirms the historic Christian faith as revealed in the Holy Scriptures and expressed in the global evangelical church. Our beliefs guide our mission, ministry practices, and partnerships.
We believe the Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. It is the final authority for faith, life, and ministry.
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—equal in power, glory, and authority.
We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for the forgiveness of sins, rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and will return again in power and glory.
We believe that salvation is a gift of God’s grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Through His sacrificial death and resurrection, people are forgiven, reconciled to God, and receive new life.
We believe the Holy Spirit indwells believers, empowering them for holy living, spiritual growth, and effective witness.
We believe the Church is the global community of believers called to worship God, make disciples, demonstrate Christ’s love, and proclaim the Gospel to all nations.
We believe Jesus Christ has commanded His followers to make disciples of all nations. Evangelism, discipleship, church planting, and leadership development are central to fulfilling this calling.
We believe the Gospel transforms both individuals and communities. Therefore, Christian mission includes spiritual transformation alongside compassionate service, justice, and community development.
