What is Turning Point Ministries' official statement of faith and where is it published?
Executive summary
The phrase “Turning Point Ministries” covers several distinct organizations that publish faith declarations; a single, universal "official statement of faith" does not appear in the provided records. The clearest, verbatim Statement of Faith located in the reporting is for Turning Point Christian Academy and is published on its website (tpchristianacademy.com/faith) while other Turning Point–named ministries publish related doctrinal texts or mission statements on their own sites (turningpointolympia.com, tpim.org, turningpointfaith.com, turningpoint.org) [1] [2] [3] [4] [5].
1. Why the name causes confusion: multiple “Turning Point” entities
“Turning Point” is a common ministry name across unrelated organizations, and the reporting shows at least four discrete web presences using that branding—Turning Point Christian Academy, Turning Point Faith (Dr. Cassandra E. Scott’s ministry), Turning Point Olympia (a church with a downloadable Statement of Faith PDF), and the broadcast ministry Turning Point founded by Dr. David Jeremiah—each publishing its own faith content on separate sites [1] [4] [2] [5].
2. The clearest, explicit Statement of Faith found: Turning Point Christian Academy
Turning Point Christian Academy’s Statement of Faith is published on its website and explicitly affirms classic evangelical commitments, including “We believe the Bible to be the inspired, authoritative Word of God” and that the Bible “is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice,” language presented on the organization’s faith page (tpchristianacademy.com/faith) [1].
3. Turning Point Olympia: a published PDF Statement of Faith on the church site
Turning Point Olympia provides a downloadable Statement of Faith PDF hosted at turningpointolympia.com/images/Statement%20of%20Faith.pdf and offers contact/location details that tie the document to a specific congregation (3525 Marvin Rd. NE Lacey, WA) and to a downloads page on the same site, indicating the church has a formal published statement available for public download [2] [6].
4. Turning Point Faith (Dr. Cassandra E. Scott) publishes mission and doctrinal messaging but not a single labelled “Statement of Faith” in the snippets
Turning Point Faith Ministries’ website emphasizes restoring faith, families, finances and futures and describes outreach, worship, and global prayer hubs as part of its mission; the reported snippets present mission language and pastoral leadership (Dr. Cassandra E. Scott) but do not reproduce a discrete, titled “Statement of Faith” paragraph in the provided excerpts, so the ministry’s specific formal creed—if labeled as such—was not captured in the reporting [4].
5. Other Turning Point brands: related doctrine or ministry positioning exists but varies by page
The broadcast Turning Point (Dr. David Jeremiah) and other TP-branded initiatives publish doctrinal and ministry information—Turning Point’s ministry materials and programming reflect longstanding Bible teaching—but the provided snippets do not include a single quoted “Statement of Faith” text for that organization, only descriptive material about teaching, broadcasts and outreach, meaning a formal creed may exist on those sites but was not shown in the search results here [5].
6. Ground truth for the original question: answer and how to verify
If the question targets a specific organization named Turning Point Ministries, the correct approach is to identify which entity is meant and consult that entity’s website; the explicit Statement of Faith located in these sources is the Turning Point Christian Academy declaration (published at tpchristianacademy.com/faith) and Turning Point Olympia’s downloadable Statement of Faith PDF is published at turningpointolympia.com/images/Statement%20of%20Faith.pdf, while Turning Point Faith and other similarly named ministries publish mission-and-faith content on their own domains though a titled “Statement of Faith” was not reproduced in the snippets for those sites [1] [2] [4] [5]. The reporting does not provide a single unified creed covering all organizations using the Turning Point name, and it does not permit asserting that other Turning Point entities lack a formal statement—only that it was not captured in the supplied excerpts [4] [5].
7. Implicit agendas and verification notes
Because multiple organizations use similar branding, statements of faith can be conflated in public discussion; readers should verify the exact site and legal entity (URLs cited above) when citing doctrine, and consult the full statement documents linked on each organization’s site for precise wording rather than relying on mission snippets or third‑party summaries [1] [2] [4].
