We Believe

Next Gen

What do you believe about God? Why do those beliefs matter? How do they change the way you live?

We Believe is a 12-part journey through the BIG TRUTHS of the faith. These truths come from the Every Nation Statement of Faith—what we believe in our spiritual family. This book will help you understand these truths, live them out, and share them with others.

What You’ll Learn

Each of the 12 sections covers one BIG TRUTH from the Statement of Faith. Every section includes:

  • A Short Prayer: A powerful prayer from history to help you start with the right heart.
  • Let’s Get Started: A quick way to understand why this belief is important.
  • History Makers: Meet a hero of faith who stood for this truth.
  • The Truth We Trust: A clear statement from our faith to help you understand.
  • Five Key Ideas: Simple summaries to explain the truth step by step.
  • Pause and Ponder: A question to help you reflect and discuss with others.
  • Make It Real: A question to apply what you learned.
  • Power Verse: A Bible verse to help you remember this truth.
  • Put It Into Practice: An activity to practice what you’ve learned.
  • A Song to Sing: A hymn that celebrates this truth in worship.

We hope this book helps you KNOW what you believe, LIVE it every day, and SHARE it with others. May these truths help you worship God more and join his mission to share Jesus with the world.
