Our Doctrine

Wycliffe professes the Word it proclaims. Relying on God and rooted in His Word, Wycliffe seeks to bear fruit among new believers who also become rooted in God's Word. Our goal is to see Bible translation in progress, through partnership, in every language that needs it by the year 2025.

Wycliffe Believes

• The Bible is God's message for people everywhere
• The message of the Bible is evangelistic and is the basis for church planting and growth
• The most effective means of communication is the mother tongue
• For a church to be truly indigenous, it must have the Bible in its mother tongue
• Bible translation is the task of the whole Church, and everyone can have a part

Doctrinal Statement

We embrace the following truths, allowing them to guide our words, actions and attitudes:

• The divine inspiration and consequent authority of the whole canonical Scripture
• The doctrine of the Trinity
• The fall of man, his consequent moral depravity and his need for regeneration
• The atonement through the substitutionary death of Christ
• The doctrine of justification by faith
• The resurrection of the body, both of the just and the unjust
• The eternal life of the saved and the eternal punishment of the lost
