Core Beliefs
The following are the core beliefs of Campus Outreach Atlanta, who is under the authority of Perimeter Church. These beliefs are based on the foundational truths taught in the bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.
One God
The Bible is the inspired and inerrant Word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice. There is one God, eternal and self-existing in three persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) who are to be equally loved, honored and adored.
That God created out of nothing the heavens and the earth and all things. After He made all creatures He created man, male and female. He made them having knowledge, righteousness, and holiness after His own image and having the law of God written in their hearts.
All humanity participated in Adam's fall from his original sinless state and is thus lost in sin and totally helpless.

The Sovereign God
The Sovereign God, for no other reason than His own unfathomable love and mercy, has chosen lost sinners from every nation to be redeemed by the quickening power of the Holy Spirit and through the atoning death and resurrection of His son, Jesus Christ.
Those sinners whom the Spirit quickens, come to believe in Christ as Savior by the Word of God, are born again, become sons of God, and will persevere to the end.
Justification is by faith and through it the undeserving sinner is clothed with the righteousness of Christ.

Salvation
The goal of God's salvation in the life of the Christian is holiness, good works, and service for the glory of God. At death the Christian's soul passes immediately into the presence of God and the unbeliever's soul is eternally separated from God unto condemnation.
Jesus Christ will return to earth, visibly and bodily, at a time when He is not expected, to consummate history and the eternal plan of God. The gospel of God's salvation in Jesus Christ must be published to all the world as a witness before Jesus Christ returns.
