Statement of Faith:
While each of us hold fast to additional beliefs important to our
relationship with God, the following statement outlines the tenets that
provide a foundation for our fellowship and participation in the
Christian medical & Dental Associations.
I Believe:
• In the divine inspiration and final authority of the Bible as
the Word of God;
• In the eternal God revealed in Holy Scripture as Father, Son
and Holy Spirit;
• In the unique Deity of Jesus Christ, God’s only Son,
whose death and resurrection provide by grace through faith the only
means of my salvation;
• In the transforming presence and power of the Holy
Spirit.
Missions Statement:
Christian Medical & Dental Association exists to motivate,
educate and equip Christian physicians and dentists to glorify God:
• by living out the character of Christ in their homes,
practices, and around the world;
• by pursuing professional competence and Christ-like
compassion in their daily work;
• by influencing their families, colleagues, and patients
toward a right relationship with Jesus Christ;
• by advancing Biblical principles in bioethics and health to
the Church and society.
We hereby affirm that our group will abide by the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 501(c)(3) (IRS
Requirements).
We understand that to be included under CMDA's group exemption with
the IRS, the group must agree to use the same accounting period as CMDA
which is July 1 through June 30th. See Local Ministry
Group Financial
Guidelines.
To remain in good standing, a local ministry group will:
• Adhere to the CMDA bylaws as approved by the Board of
Trustees.
• Submit a Renewal form listing all new leaders with address
and email and a summary of the past year’s activities to the
regional director of CMDA not later than May 1 of each year.
• Maintain the organization and activities in a manner
consistent with those of CMDA.
• Maintain autonomy in matters of local programs, meetings,
etc., and in finances, except in matters requiring compliance with the
IRS.
