City Union Mission is a non-denominational, religious/social welfare organization founded in 1924. Section 2, Article X of the Articles of Association states: At no time during the existence of said City Union Mission, Inc. shall its objects and purposes be conducted at variance with the following doctrinal statement. We believe:
1. The Holy Scriptures as originally given by God, are divinely inspired, infallible, inerrant, entirely trustworthy, and the only supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct
2. There is one God, Creator of all and eternally existent in three persons Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
3. In the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ (God manifest in the flesh), in His virgin birth, His sinless human life, His divine miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension, His mediatorial work, His present rule as Head of the Church, and His personal return in power and glory.
4. Man is born with a fallen nature and is therefore lost and sinful; that by faith in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ (through grace and apart from works), and regeneration of the Holy Spirit any person is saved and becomes a child of God.
5. In the deity and personality of the Holy Spirit; in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the believer is enabled to live a godly life to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ.
6. In the spiritual unity of all true believers, the Church, the Body of Christ.
7. In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those who are saved will be glorified and reign with Jesus Christ and those who are lost will suffer eternal damnation.
