The Study Helpers and staff of WBS believe the Bible is from God and should be our only source of religious instruction. We follow no creed, but Christ. We have no "doctrinal statement of faith,"except the New Testament. The message of the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, points us to faith and grace from God through His Son, Jesus. We believe that salvation is found in no other name but Jesus. By following His teachings found in the New Testament, you can be part of God's family and live a life of purpose and meaning.
