Dependence
We believe in the principle of our complete dependence on God for the supply of our resources and enablement of our ministry. We are dependent on the ministry of the Holy Spirit as He uses the written and spoken Word of God. We, therefore, hold the Bible to be our guide for faith and practice.

Servanthood
As servants of our Lord Jesus Christ, we are committed to a life of giving ourselves for the sake of our brethren, coworkers and the community we serve, incarnating Christ’s love by word and deed.

Belonging
We seek to develop an ethos which stresses the importance of each member of SEND and builds a spirit of teamwork and goal ownership so that each member has a sense of belonging.

Integrity
We strive to live morally above reproach, embracing honesty and fairness in all our relationships. We are committed to the highest standards of ethics throughout the organization and all aspects of ministry.

1. In the plenary and verbal inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible as originally given; that it is the only infallible Word of God, and the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and conduct;
2. That there is only one true God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit;
3. In Jesus Christ, God the Son, the world’s only Savior; in His preincarnation, virgin birth, sinless life, vicarious death, burial, bodily resurrection, and in His personal, visible return to reign on earth for a thousand years;
4. In God the Holy Spirit, who convicts the world of sin, regenerates, indwells, and empowers the believer;
5. That all people are sinful and lost and can be saved only by grace through faith in the shed blood of Christ;
6. In the resurrection of the dead, the believer to life everlasting, and the unbeliever to eternal condemnation;
7. That the church is the body of Jesus Christ, for which He will return, consisting of all who have accepted the redemption provided by Him;
8. That the presence of Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit in the believer will result in the life of holiness and a walk of obedience to the will of God.
