The Forgotten Initiative's Statement of Faith

The Forgotten Initiative is committed to keeping Christ at the center of all we do. We strive to follow the example of Jesus and extend His radical love to others as we walk in faithful obedience to God’s Word.

The following foundational statements reflect the personal and corporate beliefs of our national and local teams.

The Bible

The Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God, our supreme authority and is fully trustworthy for faith and conduct. (Proverbs 30:5; 2 Timothy 3:16-17)

God

There is one eternal God, the Creator of all things, who exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and He is the sustainer, ruler, redeemer and judge of the world. (Isaiah 45:5-7; Matthew 28:18-20; Colossians 1:15-18)

Jesus

Jesus Christ, the Son of God was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, fully human and fully divine, and lived a sinless life. (Matthew 1:18; Philippians 2:5-8; 1 Peter 2:21-23)

Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit resides in the hearts of believers who have come to Him in repentance and found salvation in Jesus through faith and is evidenced by a spiritual rebirth, reconciliation with God and obedience to God’s word. (John 16:13-14; Romans 8:9)

People

All people, made male and female in God’s image, have dignity, worth and value, starting at conception, and yet are corrupted by sin, which incurs divine wrath and judgment, separating mankind from God. (Genesis 1:27; Psalm 139:13-14; Jeremiah 1:5; Romans 3:9-20)

Salvation

The atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross, dying in our place, shedding His blood and rising again from the grave is the hope of the world. Man is justified by the grace of God through faith in the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ alone. (Romans 3:24-25; Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 Peter 2:24)

Holiness

Believers seek to live out the teachings of Jesus, pursuing holiness and refraining from practices and places that hinder growth in a believer’s relationship with Jesus and others, including pursuit of sexual purity both in and outside of marriage, which has been designed by God to be between a man and a woman united in a lifelong union. (Mark 10:6-9; Romans 12:1-2; Galatians 5:16-26; 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8)

The Church

The Church, the body of Christ both local and universal, is given life by the Spirit and endowed with the Spirit’s gifts to worship God and proclaim the gospel. (Acts 1:8; Acts 2:42; Romans 12:4-5; Ephesians 4:11-16; 1 Peter 4:7-11)

The Future

The personal and visible return of Jesus Christ is to fulfill the purposes of God, who will raise all people to judgement, bring eternal life to the redeemed and eternal condemnation to the lost, and establish a new heaven and new earth. (Acts 1:10-11; Revelation 20:12-15; Revelation 21:1-4)

Model

There are numerous ways to support the foster care community. At TFI, we believe in connecting the church and the agency. As a Coordinator, you are a key piece in building the bridge for the church to be able to show up for agency workers and thereby, understand and have the opportunity to meet the physical, relational, and spiritual needs of the entire foster care community. It all hinges on relationships, so let's begin there. We want to better understand your connection with your church and our foster care agencies.

Commitment

Building a ministry will take work, but it is beautiful too. You have the opportunity as a leader to walk with people in their journey as they venture into unknown. You get to pave the path forward and create moments for others to step into their gifts. We want to help you as you help others. Before we can do that, we want to know if you have not only the desire but the capacity to lead in your current season.

Support

Family and your local community are important to us. We highly value what others have to say about you pursuing this role. You will need their celebration, their prayer, and their support as you lead. We want you to be at a place where you and those around you are ready for this new adventure.
Please list 3 individuals, outside of family members, who could speak to your character and strengths. Be sure to share that you've listed them as a reference and to be on the lookout for an email coming their way. We will need to receive their reference forms for us to consider your application.

Reference 2: Name*
