Our statement of faith can be found at our home church's website: http://anchorbaptist1611.com. In short, we believe that the King James Bible is the word of God and is the final authority for all matters of faith and practice. We use the Russian translation of the King James Bible in services and witness. Our goals as missionaries are to spread the Gospel, win souls to Jesus Christ, plant Bible-believing churches in Ukraine that will send out their own missionaries, and distribute the translated text of the King James Bible to as many people as possible.

 

• The King James Bible is the preserved, perfect word of God. We hold that versions in other languages should be measured against the standard of the King James Bible. As such, we hold that the Russian and Ukrainian translations of the King James Bible are not perfect, but strive to be as close as possible to God’s perfect word. Any deviations from the English King James Bible in the Russian and Ukrainian KJV are not the intention of the translators, and will be corrected according to the English King James.

• There are two scriptural uses of the word church: a spiritual body of believers in Christ, and a corporate local assembly of believers, exemplifying the spiritual body. Born-again believers are a part of the church, "which is His body", and therefore should join a local autonomous church.

• We believe in two church ordinances: Water baptism and the Lord's Supper, and two offices: Pastor and Deacon.

• We are Baptist in doctrine and traditional in practice. We are anti-Calvinist in theology and moderate dispensationalists. We hold that the Roman Catholic “Church” is the Great Whore of Revelation 17, and we are against the falsehoods taught in the major seminaries across the country: the lies of higher and lower criticism of the word of God. 

• We also believe in a practical, Biblical Christianity: prayer, personal work, giving, ministering to the saints, and a daily walk with Jesus Christ.

• We believe the Second Coming is in two parts: a great summons we call the rapture which is when Jesus Christ returns as a thief in the night (I Thess. 5:2; 2 Peter 3:10) to harvest the church from the earth prior to the Great Tribulation (I Thess. 4:13-18; I Cor. 15:50-54). Believers who have already passed and are asleep in Christ will rise first and will put on a new glorified resurrected body, and believers who are still living will be changed instantly. All of us together will meet the Lord in the air. The latter part, the Second Advent, where every eye shall see him (Rev 1:7) is when Jesus returns to defeat the Antichrist and his armies and to establish His millennial kingdom post the Great Tribulation. (Rev 19:11-16.) Afterward, God will create a perfect new heaven and earth where the old earth will melt away. (II Pet 3)
