Teaching Creation (TC)
Our mission is to share with schools, churches and the culture at large, that objective science supports the Biblical account of creation. Additionally, it is our goal to help set standards of excellence for teaching creation science topics in the elementary through high school years. We believe that God has revealed a portion of His nature through His creation, to draw us to Himself and worship Him as the Creator (Isaiah 40), (Psalm 19). We believe that God has ordered the world, and this is demonstrated in His creation. The world was not created by chance, but rather by God Almighty.
Isaiah 40:21-26: 21 Have ye not known? Have ye not heard? Hath it not been told you from the beginning? Have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? 22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in : 23 That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity. 24 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble. 25 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. 26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: He calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.
Proverbs 9:10a: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom.

- We believe the people of God can be more passionate in living out their faith by spreading truth and love, and better defend their faith when equipped with a sound understanding of God’s creation.
- We will use this opportunity to glorify God, to know more about Him, and spread the gospel.
- In evangelism these teachings can both soften the soil of the heart, and also be used as an avenue to spread the gospel.
- We will pray over all matters and seek God’s will.
- The leaders will not accept monetary increase from 'Teaching Creation'.
'Teaching Creation' accepts donations and funds to pay for relevant, creation based materials to be distributed to schools and churches, and for operating expenses. - We will use all of our resources faithfully.
- We will treat everyone we deal with respectfully and with compassion.
- The 'Teaching Creation' outreach is to increase our faith and build up the church.
- Mankind’s scientific understandings are fallible. But God’s word is truth, and the final standard.
