Foundations of Faith

I. The Authority of Scripture

The foundation of every true ministry and every free society is the acknowledgement of an absolute Truth. At Atlantic Ministries Trust, we hold that the 66 books of the Bible are the inspired, inerrant, and final authority for all matters of faith and practice.

Sola Scriptura: This principle, recovered during the Reformation, asserts that Scripture alone is the final court of appeal. In an age of "subjective truth" and ever-shifting cultural norms, the Word of God remains an immovable rock.

II. The Doctrine of Man & Liberty

To understand American Patriotism through a biblical lens, one must understand the *Imago Dei*—that humans are created in the image of God. This is the spiritual root of the "unalienable rights" mentioned in our founding documents.

Because man is created by God, his fundamental rights are given by God, not granted by the State. Therefore, the State's role is not to grant rights, but to protect those pre-existing God-given liberties. When a nation forgets God, it inevitably begins to trample on the Rights of Man.

III. The Great Commission in the Marketplace

Our training focuses on taking the Gospel beyond the four walls of the church. Discipleship is not just personal piety; it is the transformation of the mind so that every sphere of life—business, family, education, and government—is brought under the Lordship of Christ.
