About
Practical • Biblical • Cross-Cultural

Who We Are
Our Mission
We live in an age of countless and ever-changing opinions and theories about human relationships and how to live fulfilling lives. When we seek guidance, it is hard to know whom to believe. Yet there is a dependable source to which we can go, one proven trustworthy and constant throughout history — the Word of God. Our mission is to encourage people to turn to God and learn how to apply the Bible’s truths in their daily lives.
Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful (Joshua 1:8).
My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6).
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart (Hebrews 4:12).
The Bible covers it all, including marriage, parenting, communication, forgiveness, decision-making, finances, temptation and depression. The One who created us shows us in his Word, the Bible, how to live fulfilling, joyful lives.
Doctrinal Beliefs / Statement of Faith
The core beliefs underlying LifeTree Institute, LifeTree Books, and DougBrittonBooks.com are:
- There is one God, eternal and existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- The Bible is the Word of God. It is inspired, authoritative, and infallible — the only infallible source to which we can turn for truth. It draws us closer to Jesus, inspires us, comforts us, convicts us of sin, and tells us how to live godly lives.
- Jesus’ atoning death and resurrection provide the only means by which we can be reconciled to God. When we come to faith in Christ, we are born again and experience eternal life with God.
- When we place our faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, God’s Spirit indwells us and begins the process of transforming us, helping us grow in holiness and preparing us for works of service which God has prepared for us.
