Core Beliefs & Core Values

The foundation everything at Preteen Journey is built on.

Core Beliefs

At Preteen Journey, we believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God — true, trustworthy, and essential for shaping a Christ-centered life. We believe in one God who exists eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God — fully God and fully man — who was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died for our sins, rose again, and will return. Salvation and eternal life are found in Him alone.

We believe the Holy Spirit draws people to Jesus and empowers believers to grow in faith, live transformed lives, and reflect Christ in the world.

We believe that following Jesus is a lifelong discipleship journey — learning to love God, love others, and live out the gospel with our time, relationships, gifts, and story.
