Dr. Andrew Farley is the lead teaching pastor of Ecclesia, an evangelical Bible church that has resided on the high plains of west Texas for more than 55 years. Below is Ecclesia's statement of faith:
We believe the Bible was fully inspired by the Holy Spirit and that it was written without error in the original manuscripts. We accept the Bible in its entirety, the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, as the sufficient and final authority for guiding man to faith in God through Jesus Christ.
We believe that there is one true God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that God is unchanging, all-knowing, all powerful and the creator of heaven and earth.
We believe that Jesus Christ is God who became fully human without ceasing to be fully God. We believe that He lived a sinless life and took away our sins by dying on the cross. He then bodily arose from the dead after three days and ascended to the right hand of God as advocate for those who trust Him for salvation. We believe He will return again to complete God's eternal plan.
