Liebenzell USA is an international organization composed of evangelicals from many different denominations, who unreservedly subscribe to its doctrinal statement. The doctrinal position of the Liebenzell USA is based on historic reformation foundations and holds a loyal position toward the Word of God. We subscribe to a conservative, evangelical theology and believe in the essential and vital importance of being diligent to observe the unity of the Spirit and to "speak the truth in love" (Ephesians 4:3, 15). Jesus prayed for the oneness of His people. He also prayed that they might be kept from evil and in truth (John 17). For this reason, we strive for both truth and unity within the Body of Christ. We will not sacrifice the truth to improve external relations and widen fellowship. Similarly, we do not condone the spirit of schism, which disrupts the spiritual unity of the church and weakens its testimony. The policy of Liebenzell USA is to maintain an independent position in relation to groups outside the Mission, while endeavoring to maintain fellowship with those of like evangelical position. We seek to preserve our interdenominational character, in view of our responsibility to the entire evangelical community represented in our membership.
