The Dwelling Place is a purposefully non-denominational, Christian ministry.

The staff, facilities, and grounds of The Dwelling Place exist to facilitate spiritual renewal, spiritual growth, and spiritual/emotional recovery by offering opportunities for guided or unguided retreats, Bible studies, and conferences for small groups, individuals, or couples.

We Believe that the Bible is the Word of God, supernaturally inspired so that it is inerrant in the original manuscripts and has been preserved by God, so that it is the divinely authoritative standard for every age and every life.

We Believe that the Godhead exists eternally in three persons-Father, Son and Holy Spirit-and that these three are one God.

We Believe in God as absolute and sole creator of the universe, and that creation was by divine fiat.

We Believe that God, by His sovereign choice and out of love for men, sent Christ into the world to save sinners.

We Believe that Jesus Christ in the flesh was both God and man, that He was born of a virgin and that Hi lived a sinless life in which He taught and did mighty works and wonders and signs exactly as revealed in the four Gospels. He was crucified, died as a penalty for out sins and was raised from the dead bodily on the third day. Later He ascended to the Father’s right hand where He is Head of the Church and intercedes for believers, and from whence He is coming again personally, bodily, visibly to the earth to set up His millennial kingdom.

We Believe that since in His death, by His shed blood, the Lord Jesus Christ made a perfect atonement for sin, redeeming us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for us – men are saved, justified, on the simple and single ground of the shed blood of Christ and faith in Him that shed that blood.

We Believe that such salvation with its forgiveness of sins, its impartation of a new nature, and its hope of eternal life, is entirely apart from good works, baptism, church membership – or man’s effort – and is pure grace.

We Believe that a true believer is eternally secure, that he cannot lose his salvation, but that sin may interrupt the joy of his fellowship with God and bring the loving discipline of his heavenly Father.

We Believe that it is the goal of every Christian to grow in spiritual maturity through obedience to the Word of God and indwelling Holy Spirit.

We believe that the Holy Spirit is a person, is God, and possesses all the divine attributes. He indwells all believers, baptizes and seals all believers at the moment of their salvation, and fills them in response to confession of sin and yieldedness.
