Statement of Faith

1. The Bible: We believe the Bible, comprised of the Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. In faith we hold the Bible to be inerrant in the original writings, God-breathed, and the complete and final authority for faith and practice. While still using the individual writing styles of the human authors, the Holy Spirit perfectly guided them to ensure they wrote precisely what He wanted written, without error or omission.

2. God:
We believe in one God, who is Creator of all, who has revealed Himself in three distinct Persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, yet who is one in being, essence, and glory. God is eternal, infinite, and sovereign . God is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, and unchanging. God is holy, just, and righteous. God is love, gracious, merciful, and good.

3. Jesus Christ:
We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is God incarnate, God in human form, the expressed image of the Father, who, without ceasing to be God, became man in order that He might demonstrate who God is and provide the means of salvation for humanity.

4. Salvation
We believe that salvation is a gift of God’s grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. Christ’s death fully accomplished justification through faith and redemption from sin. Christ died in our place and bore our sins in His own body.

We believe salvation is received by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Good works and obedience are results of salvation, not requirements for salvation. Due to the greatness, sufficiency, and perfection of Christ’s sacrifice, all those who have truly received Christ as Savior are eternally secure in salvation, kept by God’s power, secured and sealed in Christ forever. Just as salvation cannot be earned by good works, neither does it need good works to be maintained or sustained. Good works and changed lives are the inevitable results of salvation.


Statement of Practice:

Who we are

The Christian Furry Fellowship is not a church (though intend to become one in the future), because there are certain “church things” we cannot presently do.

Even though not a church CFF is a Christian ministry to the furry fandom. As such, CFF is a safe haven for Christians and nonChristians, furries and those who are not part of the fandom, to learn about and get to know Jesus for themselves, to experience his forgiveness and love.

We are governed by a set of theological affirmations; in other words, all we do here is guided in attitude and action by our statements of belief and practice.

How we work

We at CFF have the primary focus of making the Lord Jesus and the Gospel known and seen accurately; while our acceptance with God isn’t based on how well we perform this task, we want to do all we can to show our gratitude toward Him is genuine and lasting. This page is here to summarize the various platforms from which CFF operates as a ministry. We invite all our brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ to join us we do God’s will towards the fandom in particular and the world in general.

The Christian Furry Fellowship is a Christian, evangelical, missional and post-denominational organization.

That may seem like a mouthful of an organization but its easily understood.

First, we are Christians, that itself sets us apart as different than other world religions and faith-systems. As Christians, we are faithful and conform our lives to the Holy Bible, which produced both the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds – accurate affirmations basic Christian truths telling about God, who He is and what He’s done.

Where are many good and godly ministries who would stop with the historic creeds, but the leadership of the Christian Furry Fellowship understands that they were the product of specific controversies of the time. So while the creeds are accurate explanations of Christian belief, they are not comprehensive or exhaustive in their scope. In the case of the Nicene Creed especially, Christians generally rejected it for many years. There are many things in historic, orthodox Christianity that simply are not addressed by the Creeds, and it would be irresponsible to merely mention the historic Creeds and stop at that.
Therefore, secondly we call ourselves Evangelical.

Thirdly CFF as a ministry is Missional. This is just a big word that means we acknowledge, celebrate and obey the command we have from Jesus to go into the world to make more people who love Him, trust Him and obey Him. We are to do this in the best, most culturally relevant ways that we’ve been granted in our place in history. Simply put, out of thankfulness for what we have received from God, we then go out and let others know they can receive the very same gift. Our aim is to serve Jesus by serving others.

Finally we are post-denominational. We don’t stop at simply being non- or inter-denominational. Basically, this means that we strive for unity among the different Christian traditions: denominational differences between those firmly within historic Christian belief are not the same thing as sinful disunity. Because people are limited in their knowledge and perspectives, and because God has decided to work within our limited existence for a time, differences in understanding will arise. These differences are used by God to foster communication and wisdom between groups of Christians that may not feel a need or desire to interact. We celebrate our denominations, knowing Christ is glorified the most when we worship and serve through unity in diversity. We only draw “lines in the sand” where God has clearly demonstrated and affirmed is where he draws His line in the sand.
