At Ark of Salvation Church, our faith is centered on Jesus Christ as the Son of God, our Savior, and the source of salvation and eternal life. We are committed to studying Scripture, seeking the foundations of the Christian faith, and applying God’s Word to our daily lives. Through faith, grace, repentance, prayer, obedience, and fellowship, we seek to grow closer to Christ and encourage others to walk faithfully with Him.
One Faith. One Savior. One Hope in Jesus Christ.
At Ark of Salvation Church, Original Doctrine means seeking to understand and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and the faith practiced by His earliest followers, rather than allowing later traditions or cultural changes to become substitutes for Scripture.
We believe Jesus Christ is the center of our faith and salvation.
Our goal is to study Scripture in its historical and biblical context, examine the writings known to the early Christian community, and faithfully pursue Christ's teachings of faith, grace, repentance, obedience, mercy, love, and service to others.
Original Doctrine is therefore not about returning to the past simply for tradition's sake—it is about continually returning to Christ as our foundation and Scripture as our guide.
Jesus Christ did more than proclaim the Gospel—He prepared His Apostles to carry it forward. Through His teachings, example, death, and resurrection, Christ instructed them about faith, repentance, love, obedience, forgiveness, service, and the Kingdom of God.
Before His ascension, Jesus commissioned His followers to “teach all nations” (Matthew 28:19–20). Empowered by the Holy Spirit, the Apostles carried His message beyond their own communities, established churches, taught new disciples, and helped lay the foundation for the worldwide spread of Christianity.
Their mission reminds us that Christ's teachings were meant not only to be heard, but to be lived, preserved, taught, and shared from one generation to the next.
We seek to understand Scripture as faithfully as possible by studying early English translations alongside the ancient Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek textual traditions from which they were translated. We recognize the broader collection of biblical writings preserved within historic Christian traditions and examine them within their historical context. Above all, we measure our doctrine and Christian life by the teachings, example, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
At Ark of Salvation Church, we teach that the Christian family should be rooted in God’s grace, strengthened through faith in Jesus Christ, and known by the good works that flow from that faith. Grace reminds us that salvation is God’s gift, not something we can earn.
Faith calls each member of the family to trust Christ, follow His teachings, and depend upon God in every season of life. Good works are the outward expression of a living faith—demonstrated through love, obedience, forgiveness, generosity, service, and care for others.
We encourage families to receive God’s grace, walk together in faith, and let their lives bear the good fruit of Christ’s teachings.
