These support activities consist of providing personal services; software, correspondence courses, Christian School educational materials and facilities that can be used by Individuals, Churches, or Schools that desire Christian based development and educational assistance.

All members of the Rocky Mountain Christian Institute must subscribe to the following statement of faith:

1. The Bible is the written Word of God, given to mankind by inspiration of the Holy Spirit ( 2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20). The Bible is true (John 17:17) and has been confirmed as true by miraculous signs and wonders (Acts 14:3). The Bible will be the standard of judgment .on the last day (John 12: 48).
2. There is one God (Ephesians 4:6). He has three distinct personalities The Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19) commonly referred to as the Holy Trinity or Godhead.
3. Jesus Christ is "The Son of God" (John 3:16). He is an actual historical figure placed in an actual historical setting (Luke 3 :1-2, 21). Jesus is God and has existed from the beginning of time (John 1:1-2). He came as a man in the flesh to make himself known (John 1:14-18), with the set purpose and foreknowledge to demonstrate his love by dying on a cross to pay the price for our sins (Romans 5:8). He died, was buried, and rose from the dead on the third day (Matthew 28: 1-10). He appeared to many people (I Corinthians 15: 3-8) and is now exalted and reigning at the right hand of God (Acts 2:33).
4. All men have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:23 ). This gift of eternal salvation is obtained solely by the grace of God and cannot be earned by the works or good deeds of any man (Ephesians 2:8-9), Jesus is the way and the truth and the life. The only way to heaven is through Jesus (John 14:6).
5. This gift of God is accepted by obeying his gospel (Acts 5:32, 1 Peter 4:17). The good news message is the same message that was preached in the first gospel sermon by the apostle Peter (Acts 2). The gospel message consists of believing in Jesus (John 8:24), obeying his commands (John 14:15), repenting from our sins (Luke 13:3, Acts 2:38), confessing him as our Lord (Romans 10:9- 10 ), and being baptized by immersion in water for the forgiveness of sins and to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38-41). Once we are baptized into Christ (Romans 6: 3-6) we have clothed ourselves with Christ (Galatians 3:27). We are then called to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior. To him be the glory both now and forever (2 Peter 3:18)!
