our Principles (Statement of faith)
Apostles' Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic* church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

our purpose (Why do atlas?)
Because we are born out of Christ’s love, and commanded to take and multiply that love in the face of the needs we see every day.
†Helping the Hurting – Atlas provides a loving environment to walk beside (listening, encouraging, discipling, praying) individuals and families in times of need and pain.
Because we are not able to address this need alone, but going with Jesus and our brothers and sisters as the Church.
†Equipping followers of Jesus Christ – Atlas empowers and equips emotionally and spiritually mature individuals from various Christian churches to become mentors to those that are hurting. The mentors are the ones who will continue to provide the loving care, encouragement, and accountability to help individuals achieve and sustain a healthy and abundant life.
Because we go together with our unique gifts in love, compassion, and humility to pursue Christ’s redemptive work in the world.
†Uniting the Community – Atlas works with Christ-centered churches from many denominations. In addition, Atlas works with and refers to many of the existing resource organizations throughout the community in an effort not to duplicate services already available.
