Our Beliefs

Our work in the Bible translation movement flows out of our identity as followers of Jesus. The beliefs we share provide us with the motivation for our ministry. These foundational beliefs guide our plans and practices. In all we do, we desire to not only spread the message of Christ, but also to incarnate—live out—that message.

Wycliffe's Vision

That God's Word is accessible to all people in a language that speaks to their heart.

Wycliffe's Mission

To see a Bible translation program in progress in every language still needing one by 2025.

Each person who participates in the Bible translation movement has been created by God, gifted by God and called by God. While we are a diverse community, we are driven by a single passion: The glory of God through the translation of the Word for every person on earth in the language they understand best.

If you want to know more about what we believe, consider our statement of doctrine and our core values, and then be sure to keep exploring all that God is doing in and through us as we participate with Him in His mission.
