These core beliefs form the foundation of our mission and unite our staff, missionaries, and partners in service to the people of Ethiopia.
The Word of God
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
The Triune God
We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
Salvation
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, repentance and faith in Jesus Christ result in regeneration by the Holy Spirit. We affirm that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation.
The Holy Spirit
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a godly life.
Resurrection & Judgment
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost β the saved unto eternal life, and the lost unto eternal punishment.
The Church
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, and that all true believers are members of His body, the Church.
Evangelism & Mission
We believe that the ministry of evangelism is the responsibility of both the Church and every Christian.
At Soddo Christian Hospital, faith is not a statement β itβs a daily practice.
We live out our calling through compassionate care, discipleship among our staff and residents, and prayer with our patients. Each day, our mission and our faith come together in the work of healing and making disciples.
