II Tim 3:15-16; II Peter 1:21; John 17:17; Matt 4:4
We believe in humanity's separation from Christ by sin; humanity's total fallen nature requiring Christ's atoning sacrifice for reunion with God through salvation; humanity's creation in the image of God resulting in the immeasurable intrinsic value of each human from conception to death.

Motivated by God's Love:EICanada is an evangelical organization which is interdenominational in its scope. As such we hold to the core principles of the Christian faith (listed to the left) as accepted by the majority of Christian demoninations and traditions and as taught in the Bible. All distinctive issues outside of those core principles are a matter of particular interpretation. It is because of our faith in Jesus Christ that we are motivated to reach out into a hurting world with the love and compassion of God. It is our desire to love God with all that we are and to demonstrate that love tangibly by loving those in need (Matt 25:34-40). |
