“She Shall Be Called” (SSBC) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization centered on increasing Bible literacy for women all over the world. We are passionately committed to helping women understand and embody true womanhood through biblically defined standards. Although man and woman have been created equal as persons before God, it is important to understand that God made man and woman with distinct roles as part of His created and established order. Our goal is to use Scripture (God’s Word) as the blueprint for knowing God and understanding life in our unique calling as women. We encourage 1) exegetical study of scripture, 2) authentic and consistent prayer time, as well as 3) community fellowship with other women all as essential spiritual disciplines designed to better help us understand our roles as women and more importantly as means to consistently commune with Jesus!

As a Christian organization, at the core of what we believe is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe that Christ (both fully divine and fully human) perfectly fulfilled the law and gave Himself up for the pardoning of our sins.  Because man is innately sinful, it is only through Christ that salvation is secured and through His sacrifice (done once for all time) all who wholly believe in Him and His work, are reconciled to God, made righteous and justified by faith alone. Additionally, we believe that Christ's substitutionary death is the only means of salvation and that it is the responsibility of every person to repent and believe. We believe that Christ is now sitting at the right hand of the Father interceding on our behalf and we are confident in His return to consummate the salvation of His people and make all things new (creation, physically, spiritually, & relationally). Lastly, we wholeheartedly affirm God's command to "Go and make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:18-20) as well as the Christian's responsibility to extend the message of the Gospel as a call to salvation for every person who will hear and believe it.

We believe that there is one God who exists in three distinct persons, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, co-equal in essence and eternally co-existent.

We believe in the complete inerrancy, infallibility, and divine authority of the Holy Scriptures (comprised of 39 books of the Old Testament and 27 books of the New Testament). We believe that the Scriptures have been given by inspiration of God and are profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness so that Christians might be made complete and equipped for every good work.

We are committed to upholding an orthodox doctrinal position on all matters and through this statement we humbly submit our beliefs as an appropriate and correct summary of the Bible's teaching. We do recognize that we are not infalliable; thus, we do not pridefully tout our knowledge or the expression of our beliefs. Should you have any questions and/or concerns regarding this statement, please email us at info@sheshallbecalled.com.
