Mission statement
The mission of RTN is to extend the reach of Christian community, by affirming that which is positive in our culture, and penetrating our world as salt and light with the life-transforming Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Statement of faith
The Bible to be inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
That there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
In the deity of Christ; in His virgin birth; in His sinless life; in His miracles; His vicarious and atoning death through the shed blood, in his bodily resurrection; in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
That for the salvation of lost and sinful man regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
In the spiritual unity of believers in Christ.
In the Biblical understanding of marriage, the family, and human sexuality.
In the sanctity and dignity of human life from conception to natural death.
In a Biblical world view that requires all activities of this organization, and all resources of this organization - including but not limited to all broadcasts, publications, directories, databases, announcements, web sites, facilities, etc. - be used, in furtherance of and/or consistent with this Biblical world view and the Christian mission that it commands.
