Statement of Faith

  • WE BELIEVE in one sovereign God, eternally existing in three persons: the everlasting Father, His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, and the Holy Spirit, the giver of life.
  • WE BELIEVE that God has revealed Himself and His truth in the created order, in the Scriptures, and supremely in Jesus Christ; and that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are verbally inspired by God and inerrant in the original writing,
  • WE BELIEVE that Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, was true God and true man, existing in one person and without sin; and we believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into heaven.
  • WE BELIEVE that God directly created Adam and Eve, the historical parents of the entire human race; and that they were created in His own image, and in a state of original righteousness. Our first parents sinned by rebelling against God’s revealed will and thereby incurred both physical and spiritual death, and that as a result all human beings are born with a sinful nature that leads them to sin.
  • WE BELIEVE that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, triumphing over all evil; and that all who by faith believe in Him are justified by His shed blood, forgiven of all their sins and are born again of the Holy Spirit.
  • WE BELIEVE that the Holy Spirit indwells and gives life to believers, enables them to understand the Scriptures, empowers them for godly living, and equips them for service and witness.
  • WE BELIEVE that the one, holy, universal Church is the body of Christ and is composed of the communities of Christ’s people.
  • WE BELIEVE that Jesus Christ will one day visibly return to this earth, to gather Christ Followers, to raise the dead, to judge the nations and bring His Kingdom to fulfillment.
  • WE BELIEVE that God created men and women as gendered beings, each created in the image of God, fully equal in value, dignity, and worth, with complementary roles in the created order. Blurring the boundary between maleness and femaleness violates the boundaries God has set for the good and glory of his people. (Genesis 1:1, 18-28, 2:24; Galatians 3:28; Psalm 8:3-9; Isaiah 42:5-6)
  • WE BELIEVE that God instituted marriage as an exclusive, lifelong, and covenantal union of one man and one woman, which signifies the relationship between Christ and his Church. We believe God designed and blessed sexual intimacy to be enjoyed exclusively within the marriage covenant. We believe that same-sex sexual desire experienced by those who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, and same-sex attracted is a product of the Fall, that same-sex sexual desire was not a pre-Fall reality, and that same-sex sexual desire will not exist in the new creation, after the return of Christ. (Genesis 1:26-28, 2:24; 1 Peter 3:7; Matthew 19:3-9; 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5; 1 Cor.6:9-11
  • WE BELIEVE all people have been created in God’s image. Diversity and unity are both manifested in God’s person and His creation. Cultural and ethnic distinctions that properly reflect such diversity and unity are deserving of respect. Believers of all races and cultures enjoy unity in Christ which enhances their personal and ethnic identity. Slavery is wrong in any historical context in that each person is made in God’s image and is equal in God’s sight and therefore must be esteemed equal by all mankind.
  • WE BELIEVE that Scripture forbids murder; it is sin. We believe that the intentional killing of an unborn child is a violation of God’s command (Sixth Commandment). God, in His Word, speaks of the unborn child as a person and treats him as such, and so must we.
  • WE BELIEVE that PastorServe is not called by God to support churches that do not affirm a biblical view of gender, marriage, the value of unborn children or the value of all people regardless of race or culture. We will however come alongside individual pastors struggling with the aforementioned issues doing everything in our power to help them return to a biblical perspective.

Our Testimonials

  • As a pastor in full time ministry for 20 years, I have found Pastor Serve to be a huge blessing.
    Coaching has helped me navigate through some significant challenges in church leadership, but also in my family and relationship with Jesus. I first connected with them while I was preparing to take a sabbatical, and have continued my relationship with them because it has been so helpful. I have served my congregation and staff better because of the investment of Jay Fowler and Pastor Serve!

  • PastorServe has been very valuable to me in the last year of my ministry.
    Through one of their coaches I was able to find the confidence and courage I needed to continue in ministry. Not only has the ministry of PastorServe been a blessing to me and the church they have also been a blessing for my wife and our marriage. I appreciate how they care about a lost and broken world and their desire to help pastors and churches reach their full potential.

  • PastorServe truly lives up to its name.
    They serve pastors so that they can better serve the Lord. They are honest and insightful. Listening and implementing the advice given by these consummate professionals benefits the person and the Kingdom. I could not have more love and respect for my coach (Wade Brown) than I do. I highly recommend this organization and pray that other pastors find this resource so that they can finish strong.
