B. Our Statement of Faith
Truckstop Ministries believes in and teaches the following:
(Listed in no particular order of importance.)
- The Bible is the absolute infallible Word of God and it is without error. (2 Samuel 22:31, 2 Timothy 3:16)
- Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary. (Matthew 1:23)
- Jesus died on the cross and in three days he arose from the dead (grave) and is alive today, sitting at the right hand of the Father. (Matthew 27:32-50, Luke 24:46-47)
- Jesus’ shed blood on the cross is the only remission for man’s sins.
(Hebrew 9:22, 1 John 1:7, Revelation 1:5)
- Salvation is accessible only through repentance: confessing our sinful nature to God, turning from our sins, and accepting Jesus as our personal Savior. (Romans 10:9-10 & 13, 1 John 1:9)
- Sexual sins – Not “alternative lifestyles;” rather, intolerable sins in God’s sight.
- Homosexuality – Romans 1:18-32;
- Adultery, Fornication, etc. – Galatians 5:19-21
- The Trinity — God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19)
- The Rapture — When Jesus appears in the clouds and all born-again Christians go to meet Him in the air. (1 Thessalonians 4:16)
- The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead who manifests the power of God in, and for, man today. (Acts 1:8, Luke 10:19)
- Water baptism by immersion: an outward profession of our belief in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and not, in itself, necessary for salvation. (Matthew 3:16, 1 Peter 3:21)
- Hell is a literal place of eternal torment for all who reject God and die in their sin. (Isaiah 66:24, Luke 16:19-21)

Ministry Profile
We treat our employees with Christian love and respect. We would like to be
considered a spiritual
refuge for truckers and others in all of our locations. While we do have a number of supporters --
corporate & otherwise --
who are in the trucking industry, we receive most of our financial
support primarily from truckers.
About 80% of our donations are from drivers, with the
rest coming from trucking companies, churches,
and individuals.
More importantly, we have supporters who share
Truckstop Ministries' vision to reach all truck drivers.
Through a long-term commitment to this mission, we are known as a ministry that
provides guidance,
services and facilities to truckers seeking the word of God.
