The Mission of Kosmos Ministries 

Kosmos is a inter-denominational Christian mission organization. We strive to work with various churches and groups, attempting to bridge denominational differences through service.  Kosmos seeks to join God in his mission to the world by connecting others with ministry opportunities.  We provide for, and serve the poor and underprivileged regardless of race, gender, nationality, religious affiliation, etc.  

 

Kosmos Ministries is a mission organization, not a church.  Even so, we are not seeking to create a ministry apart from the Church, but to bridge the gap between those in need and churches who would otherwise be unable to become involved.  Kosmos hopes to extend the mission of the church by 1) serving the underprivileged, and 2) exposing those who are sent to the powerful effects of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  We realize, however, that potential church partners should be afforded the opportunity to know the theological beliefs of our organization.  While we seek to avoid any denominational conflicts, we hold the following core beliefs: 

 Core Beliefs

Creation

We believe that God created heaven, the universe, and everything in it including humanity.  Through Him all things were made, and nothing was made without Him (Gen 1-2, John 1:1-4, Col 1:15-20).

   

The Bible

We believe the Bible is inspired by God, and authoritative for the lives of all Christians (2 Tim 3:16).  It is the blueprint for the practice of faith and life.  The Bible is sacred scripture that documents a living God who strives to have a relationship with His creation, culminating in redemption. 

 

Salvation

We believe that humans are saved by the grace of God, through faith (Eph 2:8-9).  There is nothing we can do to buy, earn, or otherwise obtain salvation ourselves.  God has initiated this transaction through Jesus Christ.  Our response is to repent of our sins, ask for forgiveness, and believe in Jesus as Lord.  We then, in turn, seek to imitate Christ by turning our attention to God, and to loving and serving others.  

Jesus

We believe in Jesus Christ, and that He is Lord.  We believe in one God, who exists in three persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit.  Jesus actually lived among us (John 1:14).  He is fully human and fully divine.  His purpose, in part, was to show us how to live and to lead us to salvation.  Jesus was crucified, killed on a cross, was resurrected (physically rose from the dead), and ascended into heaven.
