About

To be considered orthodox within the Christian faith means the believer must ascribe to the following “Absolutes” of Classical Christian doctrine:

• The Bible is the inspired, infallible, inerrant, sufficient, and authoritative Word of God worthy of our full submission.
• There is but one true and living God who exists eternally in three persons; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
• All of mankind has broken God’s law, which causes separation between God and us.
• Jesus was fully God and fully man.
• Christ died, was buried, and resurrected once for all as the perfect sacrifice to atone for mankind’s sins by enduring God’s judgment on our behalf.
• Salvation comes by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.
• The Church, made of born again men and women by the Spirit of God, is called to be Christ’s light on this earth, instructed to go and make disciples of men.
• God alone stands as the arbiter of what classifies as sin, therefore Christians must continue to withstand cultural pressures that seek to morally justify those actions that God’s Word explicitly identity as immoral sin.
• As image bearers of God, human life is sacred. Christians must support the protection and promotion of life, oppose practices that destroy or devalue human life, and uphold the dignity and worth of every person.
• Jesus will come again to judge the living and the dead, ushering in his peaceful Kingdom, and we will be with our Lord forever.

These are unchanging truths established in Scripture and recognized by all faithful Christian denominations within the Protestant faith, and it is by these truths that DOLLS will also abide. Persons or denominations denying one or more of these absolutes place themselves outside of the pale of Evangelical Christianity. While girls from belief systems outside of the walls of these essential beliefs are always welcome to be a part of the DOLLS chapter on their campuses, DOLLS WILL hold unwaveringly to the teaching of these classical Christian doctrines. DOLLS requires that all those serving in leadership positions within this ministry agree with and testify to these fundamental doctrinal truths.
