CWCI International
KNOW YOUR BIBLE
OUR PURPOSE: to see lives transformed through a relationship with Jesus Christ and grow to maturity through the application of biblical truth.
OUR BEGINNINGS: CWCI (formerly known as Christian Women Communicating Int'l) started when a small group of women spent a weekend together in 1957 because they wanted to know more about the Bible. The following year the number had more than doubled. Weekend conventions began in Sydney, soon spreading to other cities and towns. Functions were held all over Australia. Speakers were invited to share the gospel message; others gave deeper Bible teaching.
As the organisation became known in New Zealand and the United Kingdom, similar conventions began.
The board of CWCI International meets twice a year and is responsible for all work outside countries where national leadership is established. Its primary ministry is the writing of KYB studies in English, and the translating of those studies for use, worldwide.
STATEMENT OF BELIEFS
We believe:
That the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is the uniquely inspired Word of God, and is the only and wholly trustworthy test of Christian faith and conduct.
In one God, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
In the absolute deity and full humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ. We believe in His virgin birth, His sinless life, and the authenticity of His miracles. We believe in His representative and substitutionary sacrifice, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the Father, His present life as Lord of all, High Priest and Advocate, and His personal return in power and glory.
That each member of the human race is fallen, sinful and lost and therefore subject to God’s condemnation.
That the shed blood of Jesus Christ provides the only ground for forgiveness of sins and justification to all who receive Him by faith; and that only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit do they receive the gift of eternal life and become children of God.
That the Holy Spirit indwells all believers, enabling them to understand and apply the Scriptures, and empowering them for godly living, service and witness.
That the dead will be raised bodily either to eternal life or eternal condemnation.
