IMPORTANT NOTE: In June 2002, The Alnors moved to southeast Texas, where Bill accepted a professorship with Texas A&M University in Kingsville. Accordingly, since the Alnors no longer live in the Eastern U.S., the name Eastern Christian Outreach seems redundant. Therefore, the Alnors will be closing the corporation known as Eastern Christian Outreach and will be continuing their efforts contained in this mission and doctrinal statement under the name The Christian Sentinel. Stay tuned for further changes!
Eastern Christian Outreach
Mission and Doctrinal Statement
(Revised July 2002)
"For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them." Ephesians 5:8-11 (NKJ)
We exist to:
 | Monitor religious deception
in this crucial part of history.
| Track religious trends.
| Give facts in an objective fashion about
religious leaders operating today.
| Give biblical answers to difficult questions
| Educate the Christian Church on new
movements.
| Track and analyze cultural trends. | Monitor and expose the
unethical behavior and practices and religious
leaders today, not being afraid to expose
lies, inconsistencies and phony credentials.
This includes spotlighting those in our own
tradition of the conservative evangelical
church, and even examining those in the field
of Christian discernment and apologetics. | Expose plagiarism, false
claims and distorted fact-gathering and poor
research in the religious media, with a
special emphasis on those in the world of
religious publishing and broadcasting. | Uplift the body of Christ by
providing devotional literature pertaining to
issues of the day. | |
Doctrinal Statement of Eastern Christian Outreach, Inc.
| We believe in the 66 books of the Bible as the inspired, inerrant, and fully authoritative Word of God. |
| We believe in the historic Christian doctrine of the Trinity, which is that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are equal in power and in glory. |
| We believe in the deity of Christ, the Son of God, His virgin birth, and His sinless nature. While on earth in human form He died on the cross, shedding His blood as a sacrifice for sin. Three days later He rose from the dead, and He is now exalted at God's right hand. We believe that He will come again personally and visually to complete God's plan. |
| We believe that all men have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God. Salvation can only come through Christ. We are reconciled to God by Christ's shed blood. |
| We believe that the Holy Spirit ministers to Christ's church today, both corporately and individually to each believer. Through the Holy Spirit we can lead a godly life in this world, which is under Satan's dominion. |
| We believe that all true believers in Christ are part of one body which is His church, regardless of denominational affiliation. |
