The faith behind Doorpost.

These are the truths Christians have confessed from the beginning, and we hold them gladly. Each is given with the Scripture it rests on.

1. 01God

   We believe in one God, who exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. He made everything, He rules everything, and He is holy, good and worthy of all our worship.

   “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.”

   See also: Genesis 1:1; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14

2. 02The Bible

   We believe the Bible, the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, is the Word of God. God breathed it out, so it is without error in the original writings and it is the final authority for what we believe and how we live. It is also sufficient. In Scripture God has given us everything we need for life and godliness, so when we ask how to raise children, order a home, face suffering or fight sin, we go to His Word first.

   “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”

   See also: 2 Peter 1:3, 20–21; Psalm 19:7–11; John 17:17; Hebrews 4:12

3. 03Creation and people

   We believe God created the heavens and the earth, and that He made man and woman in His own image. Every person, born and unborn, young and old, has dignity and worth because of whose image they bear. We were made to know God and to glorify Him.

   “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.”

   See also: Genesis 1–2; Psalm 139:13–16; Colossians 1:16

4. 04Sin

   We believe Adam sinned and that in him we all fell. Every one of us is a sinner by nature and by choice, guilty before a holy God and unable to save ourselves. That is true of our children too. The deepest problem in any home is not out there in the culture. It is in the heart, and only God can change a heart.

   “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.”

   See also: Genesis 3; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12; Ephesians 2:1–3; Jeremiah 17:9

5. 05Jesus Christ

   We believe in Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life. He died on the cross in the place of sinners, bearing the judgment our sin deserved. He was buried, and on the third day He rose bodily from the dead. He ascended to the right hand of the Father, where He intercedes for His people today.

   “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.”

   See also: John 1:1; Matthew 1:18–25; Hebrews 4:15; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Acts 1:9–11; Hebrews 7:25

6. 06Salvation

   We believe sinners are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Salvation is God’s gift. It is not earned by good works, by church attendance or by being raised in a Christian home. God calls everyone everywhere to repent and believe the gospel. Repentance and faith belong together: turning from sin and turning to Christ. Everyone who repents of sin and trusts in Christ is forgiven, counted righteous before God and adopted as His child. Jesus is the only way to the Father.

   “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”

   See also: Mark 1:15; Acts 17:30; Acts 20:21; John 3:16; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:21–26; Romans 10:9

7. 07The Holy Spirit

   We believe the Holy Spirit gives new birth, lives in every believer and makes us more like Christ. He does this through the Word, through prayer and through the life of the church. No routine, chart or app changes a heart. The Spirit does.

   “But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”

   See also: John 3:5–8; Romans 8:9–14; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Galatians 5:22–23

8. 08The church

   We believe the church is the body of Christ, made up of all who belong to Him, and that it is seen in local churches where the Word is preached, baptism and the Lord’s Supper are practiced and believers are shepherded by faithful pastors. Every Christian family belongs in one. Doorpost is not a church and is not a substitute for yours.

   See: Matthew 16:18; Acts 2:42–47; Ephesians 4:11–16; Hebrews 10:24–25; Hebrews 13:17

9. 09Christ's return

   We believe Jesus Christ will return personally, bodily and visibly, in glory. The dead will be raised and He will judge the living and the dead. Those who are in Christ will live with God forever in a new heaven and a new earth. Those who have rejected Him will face everlasting punishment. This is why the gospel is urgent, and why there is real hope.

   See: Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17; John 5:28–29; Matthew 25:31–46; Revelation 20:11–15; Revelation 21:1–5

10. 10Marriage, family and parents

    We believe God designed marriage as the lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and that He made each of us male or female in His image. Children are a gift from the Lord. God gives parents, and fathers in particular, the first responsibility for teaching their children to know and obey Him. The church equips parents and stands beside them. It does not replace them, and neither does anything we build.

    “And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.”

    See also: Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4–6; Psalm 127:3; Ephesians 6:1–4; Proverbs 22:6

A statement of faith is only words unless it changes what gets built. Here is where ours shows up.

• Scripture comes first.

  The daily verse is on the wall and on your phone before the calendar is. Memory verses, the devotion log and the prayer board sit in the middle of the family’s day, not in a separate app.

• Accurate translations, quoted exactly.

  The Berean Standard Bible, the King James Version and the World English Bible are built in. Other translations will be added only once they are licensed. It is our policy to offer translations, not paraphrases, and to show a verse word for word with its reference and translation.

• AI does not write Scripture.

  When the Scripture coach suggests passages, the AI returns references only. The words you read come from your own translation, and each reference is checked against the real chapter and verse counts before you see it.

• AI does not replace parents, pastors or the Bible.

  The coach is instructed to point to Christ and to Scripture, and not to give therapy or clinical advice. The family assistant is instructed to send medical, legal and counseling questions to your pastor or the right professional. If someone’s words suggest they may be in danger, the coach shows where to get help now: a trusted adult, a pastor, or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. AI is a helper for parents. It is never the discipler.

• Parents lead.

  Parents create every child’s profile, set the rewards, check the work and hold the controls. Doorpost is built to put a parent in front of a child with an open Bible, not to put a child in front of a screen.

• Your church comes before our software.

  Doorpost keeps your sermon notes and your family’s service log because the life of your local church belongs in your week. If you need counsel, go to your pastors and elders.
